In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 495, Bastiodon plays as a defensive Pokémon that shines at absorbing hits. Its standout stat is Defense at 168, while Speed (30) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Rock, Steel combination gives Bastiodon 8 resistances, 1 immunity, and 3 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Fighting, Ground moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Bastiodon a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +2 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
