'''Byron's Bastiodon''' (Japanese: '''トウガンのトリデプス''' ''Tougan's Trideps'') is [[Byron]]'s main Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|games}}.
'''Byron's Bastiodon''' (Japanese: '''トウガンのトリデプス''' ''Tougan's Torideps'') is [[Byron]]'s main battling {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and {{pkmn|games}}.


==In the anime==
==In the anime==
{{p|Bastiodon}} first appeared in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'' where Byron used it to battle against his son [[Roark]] and his {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. However, the match was interrupted due to [[Team Rocket]] stealing all of Byron's fossil collection. It then teamed up with {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}} to send them blasting off and recover the fossils.
===Main series===
====History====
[[File:Byron and Bastiodon.png|thumb|150px|left|Bastiodon and Byron]]
Prior to the start of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Byron revived Bastiodon from an Armor Fossil and evolved Shieldon into a Bastiodon.
 
Bastiodon first appeared in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', where Byron used it to battle against his son [[Roark]] and his {{TP|Roark|Rampardos}}. Roark started the fight by having Rampardos repeatedly using {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, which was counted by Bastiodon's {{m|Iron Defense}}. Bastiodon then went on the offense and used {{m|Flamethrower}}, which was dodged. Rampardos attacked with a powerful {{m|Head Smash}}, which Bastiodon combatted with {{m|Iron Head}}. At a standstill, the two attacked with Flamethrower and {{m|Flash Cannon}}. Rampardos began to show signs of fatigue, but an alarm went off in the [[Gym]], causing the battle to be called off.
 
The alarm was revealed to be caused by {{TRT}}, who had stolen the Fossils from the Gym. Byron and Roark teamed up and had Bastiodon and Rampardos attack the mecha Team Rocket was using, but the attacks caused no damage. {{MTR}} begans to throw chunks of earth at them, causing the two to retreat. Bastiodon stepped in and took the attacks, allowing Rampardos to attack the machine. Worried that they may not survive much more, Team Rocket attempted to flee, only to be hit by Bastiodon and Rampardos. The attack created an opening for [[Ash's Pikachu]] to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, destroying the machine.
[[File:Roark Rampardos and Byron Bastiodon.png|thumb|220px|Bastiodon and Rampardos]]
In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', Bastiodon was used as Byron's last Pokémon in his Gym battle against {{Ash}}, fighting against his {{TP|Ash|Chimchar}}. Wanting to end the battle quickly, Ash had Chimchar use Flamethrower. Bastiodon stand its ground and used Iron Defense to handle the attack and then used {{m|Metal Burst}} to send the damage back, knocking Chimchar out. Next, it faced {{TP|Ash|Gliscor}}, who started the battle with {{m|Steel Wing}} from behind, which Bastiodon countered with Iron Defense. It then tried {{m|Fire Fang}}, only to be countered by Flash Cannon. While recovering, Bastiodon went on the offense and striked with Iron Head multiple times. Although weakened, Gliscor managed to get close enough to Bastiodon to grab on to it from behind, allowing it to use consecutive Fire Fangs. Bastiodon shaked it off and attacked with Flash Cannon, but it missed when Gliscor used its tail to knock Bastiodon over. Bastiodon managed to hit the Fang Scorpion Pokémon with another Iron Head, but was finally defeated when Gliscor got behind it again and used Fire Fang.


It appeared again in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' where it was used in a gym battle against {{Ash}}. It managed to defeat {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}} easily but it finally went down to {{AP|Gliscor}} after a hard fought battle, earning Ash the {{badge|Mine}}.
Bastiodon also appeared alongside Byron during the credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Like most of its species, Bastiodon is incredibly defensive, able to withstand many attacks, even having the upper hand in battle against Rampardos, a highly offensive Pokémon. It is Byron's favorite Fossil Pokémon and as a result is his most trusted teammate.

{{main|Don}}
[[File:Diamond Don Shieldon.png|thumb|120px|Byron's Shieldon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Byron had a {{p|Shieldon}} that first appeared in ''[[PS348|A Big Stink Over Stunky]]''. Due to the [[Pokémon category|Shield Pokémon]]'s stubborn nature, Byron was unable to bond with him. He eventually gave him to {{adv|Diamond}}, due to Shieldon liking the Trainer. Shieldon has since evolved into Bastiodon and been [[nickname]]d Don.
