To protect their young, Bastiodon (before going extinct) would line up and form an impenetrable wall with their faces. It may look rough and tough, but Bastiodon is actually a cooperative and caring Pokémon. Attacking it from behind is another story as that’s Bastiodon’s sorest weak spot. It is very defense-heavy and able to repel anything you throw its way. Bastion’s build is sturdier and more compact so attacking it would be like driving straight into the jaws of a bulldozer. Shieldon evolves into Bastiodon at level 30 and this thing is a beast. Shieldon’s facial care regimen involves polishing its face against tree trunks to maintain its resplendent armor, so it’s no surprise that even its fossils show zero damage to the face.
The facial hide of this Pokémon is impenetrable, making it hard to damage head-on. You can obtain Shieldon by resurrecting it from the Armor Fossil in the Oreburgh Mining Museum in Sinnoh.
We’ve got one more interesting Rock/Steel combo Pokémon up next: Shieldon. Definitely worth an honorary mention in this list, isn’t it? Relicanth hasn’t changed in over a hundred million years because it’s considered an already perfect life-form. It’s officially categorized as a “Longevity Pokémon” and wow, that’s actually a thing! This fish-type, stone-faced Pokémon’s speciality is… well, being old. It is apparently very rare with just a 5% chance of you ever coming across one, and while it is thought to be extinct, this little sucker is still out there just waiting to be caught.Īnd it’ll be a tough one to find since you have to go underwater to catch a Relicanth among the seaweeds of the ocean floor. Relicanth starts off this list since it isn’t technically a Fossil Pokémon. Let’s see who reigns supreme as we rank the whole evolutionary line of these Fossil Pokémon by their stats, design, and more importantly, their divine ancientness! 12. They’re all over every generation and once you find one, hook yourself up with a revival facility and your fossil Pokémon will come back battle-ready. Luckily some were able to immortalize traces of their ancient essence into special revivable fossils, and that’s what we get to play with. Fossil Pokémon aren’t just a rare breed-they are literally extinct.
