Bastiodon 85/156 · Ultra Prism

Bastiodon is Pokédex #411, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Bastiodon is a Stage 2 Metal Pokémon with 160 HP. The card says it evolves from Shieldon. In this catalog that name is Shieldon (#410).

Bastiodon sits at 85/156 in Ultra Prism, position 85 of 178. Before it is 84 Shieldon, and after it is 86 Bronzor. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 2, 2018. The printed size is 156. This checklist is longer, at 178 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Earthen Shield is listed as Ability. Prevent all damage done to your Metal Pokémon by attacks from your opponent's Pokémon that have any Special Energy attached to them. The attack Push Down lists 110 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless. You may have your opponent switch their Active Pokémon with 1 of their Benched Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "It lived in the same environments as Rampardos. Their fossils have been found together—seemingly from after they'd fought to the finish."

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 21/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). That card lists 130 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Holo. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and Hasuno illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Bastiodon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hasuno. I count 74 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ultra Prism set binder is where a full Ultra Prism set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bastiodon can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
