Bastiodon: Leftovers
Nature: Hardy
Ability: Sturdy
Moves:
-Sandstorm
-Protect
-Iron Defense
-Iron Head

Basically wears down foes and stalls. Leftovers make him recover a few HPs every turn, Iron Defense makes physical moves a joke (Even 4x weaknesses have trouble getting past half HP) and Sandstorm raises his Sp.Def (How much again? Double or 1.5?)
Iron head is just a HP wearer downer, although, his poor attack stat.... I'm wondering if I should do Metal Burst.

Basically stalls the hell out of opponents. I made my friend give up on a battle because he thought his Swellow would own me.

Discuss, edit and rate.

Especially with it's low hp, it won't last long.

It depends on if you want one for just in the game or battling competitively. I'm of the belief that most pokemon can be useful, just depends on how you do things. IMO I would throw Toxic in there somewhere, but i'm not good with movesets so I'm not really the one to give advice.

If you don't mind breeding and since its speed is already very poor you could try for Curse instead of Iron Defense. Again thro, i'm not a pro at movesets.

Yeah yeah yeah, i'll try and help, i'm no good at this...

Iron Defence
Sandstorm
Rest
Toxic

Remember what I said about his pathetic hp? Well, if its ever gonna be an effecient waller, Rest is needed. In conjuntion with toxic & sandstorm, it could cause some serious pain, at least as much as a staler can. Iron Defence as you stated, can stay. You don't need Iron Head, and Metal Burst won't do it good with it's high defence.

Gotcha, Sims. Too bad it doesn't learn Will-O-Wisp, though.

Anyway, I'll throw on Toxic as soon as I get the TM. Thanks.

Hang on. When did 168 base Defence become low? That's second only to Aggron, Steelix and Shuckle. And its base Sp. Def is around 138. I admit it has quite low HP and yes, it is crippled by its weaknesses, but if its defences are up high enough and it survives an Earthquake or BB, or any other threatening move, (Not that Byron's did. My Staraptor's Close Combat saw to that), then Metal Burst will unleash pure Hell on the sweeper that dared to challenge his awesomeness.

He may not be the best wall around but he's still useful, dangit! Although he'd be better if he got Magnet Rise.

My bad, I meant to say high, I was tired when I wrote it. I figured with his mighty defence, it won't take enough damage head on for Metal Burst to work.

I love his high defence. I just don't like how lopsided the rest of his stats are. If Rampardos has decent defence, why can't Bastiodon have decent attack (or anything else at the matter)?

Besides, I said "how" defence, so there...well, I was tired...XD
