Stone Edge
Metal Burst
Stealth Rock
Toxic/Swagger

The only move that is necessary is Metal Burst. Your opponent will attempt an Earthquake or a Surf and with this beast's Defensive stats, it shouldn't be able to OHKO Bastiodon. With proper prediction, Metal Burst will more than likely KO the attacker. Stone Edge is for last resort and the others are for annoyance.

Hmm can i replace swagger with taunt? so i can use metal burst better

Not to be rude but, how can Bastodon be a mixed wall?

It dies to Close Combat, infact any fighting move and the most common move in the game Earthquake. Also i dont really see how it could survive a super effective move, also ive never actually used this pokemon but it has rather average Hp and just has too many weakness to be a mixed wall

the only way i can see it working is if it had a focus sash and metal burst.


Unless that is that you have something else to cover its MANY weaknesses that you can switch in.

Block is a no no.

Bastiodon isn't much of a Wall at all. Its three weaknesses are among the most commonly used move types of all.
