In-Depth Analysis
Shieldon totals 350 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Defense (118) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker HP (30).
Its Rock, Steel typing leaves Shieldon with 3 weaknesses against 8 resistances and 1 full immunity. Watch out for Fighting, Ground moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. On offense, its STAB moves threaten 6 types for super-effective damage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Shieldon a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow Then Very Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
