I see a lot of love for so many of the fossilmons, yet it seems like this guy here almost never gets much attention. Figured I'd fix that with a thread about it.
Bastiodon thread time then. Post Bastiodons and chat about this fossilmon.

I like the look, never bothered with this gen tho... Might try pick in it up cheap now. Like him better than the other fossilmon in that gen
>>27793371
Imo the gen 4 fossils were both great aesthetically. It's just a shame that Bastiodon isn't any good. If they moved 20 from each defense and put it in HP and Attack he'd probably be OK, at least in lower tiers. As he is he's not even viable for an in-game team.
ugliest fossil mon and one of the ugliest pokemon overall
>>27793371
ya know a lot of people shit on Bastiodon but roar, stealth rocks, metal burst, magic coat, rest/sleep talk and curse I really think he's underage as a utility Mon, sure it's not gonna roll and team but its not useless
I like it design-wise, but it's just too shitty and forgettable competitively. It has the onix/cloyster syndrome, too much defense without HP doesn't work.

Even gamefreak knows rock/steel is a shit typing. Hence why mega aggron drops one of its types.
I don't think there's a way to save bastiodon.

I love Shieldon, though Bastiodon always felt off to me. Doesn't help that it's not that great statwise either.

>I love this living bulldozer
So bad its tiny size and crappy status
>>27793371
I always found the castle face dumb.
Aggron is a much better ceratopsian.
