Bastiodon 21/123 · Mysterious Treasures

Mysterious Treasures is a set in the Diamond & Pearl series. It was released on August 1, 2007. The printed size is 123. This checklist is longer, at 124 cards. Bastiodon is 21/123, in position 21 of 124 on this checklist. Before it is 20 Ariados, and after it is 22 Chimecho. The listed rarity is Rare.

Bastiodon is a Stage 2 Metal Pokémon with 130 HP. The card lists level 51. In the Pokédex this is Bastiodon (#411), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card says it evolves from Shieldon. In this catalog that name is Shieldon (#410).

Kazuyuki Kano illustrated this card. The same name is on 26 other cards in the catalog.

Bastiodon (#411) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Bastiodon 1/17 in POP Series 6 (2007). Both list 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. 7 other cards of Bastiodon list a different HP.

Protective Wall is listed as Poké-Body. Prevent all damage done to your Benched Pokémon by your opponent's attacks. The attack Anger Revenge lists 60 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless. If Bastiodon was damaged by an attack during your opponent's last turn, this attack does 40 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire +40. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Any frontal attack is repulsed. It is a docile Pokémon that feeds on grass and berries."

I keep a set binder for Mysterious Treasures, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Mysterious Treasures set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bastiodon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
