Bastiodon 110/189 · Astral Radiance

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 110/189 in Astral Radiance, position 110 of 216. Before it is 109 Shieldon, and after it is 111 Bronzor. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on May 27, 2022. The printed size is 189. This checklist is longer, at 216 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Primal Fortress is listed as Ability. Your Pokémon take 30 less damage from attacks from your opponent's Pokémon V (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Iron Tackle lists 180 damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless. This Pokémon also does 30 damage to itself. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon is from roughly 100 million years ago. Its terrifyingly tough face is harder than steel." The regulation mark is F.

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 Yuya Oka illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 6 other cards of Bastiodon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Yuya Oka. I count 37 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Astral Radiance set binder is where a full Astral Radiance 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.
