Bastiodon is Pokédex #411, generation 4 (Sinnoh). Bastiodon is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 150 HP. The card says it evolves from Shieldon. In this catalog that name is Shieldon (#410).

Bastiodon sits at 70/114 in Steam Siege, position 70 of 116. Before it is 69 Shieldon, and after it is 71 Klink. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on August 3, 2016. The printed size is 114. This checklist is longer, at 116 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Counter Head lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. During your opponent's next turn, if this Pokémon is damaged by an attack (even if this Pokémon is Knocked Out), put damage counters on the Attacking Pokémon equal to the damage done to this Pokémon. Fortress of Rage is another attack lists 100+ damage. The cost is Metal, Metal, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 10 more damage for each of your Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "Any frontal attack is repulsed. It is a docile Pokémon that feeds on grass and berries."

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 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and match illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 4. 9 other cards of Bastiodon list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads match. I count 143 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Steam Siege set binder is where a full Steam Siege 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.
