Strategy & play
How Bastiodon plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Anger Revenge) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Metal Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Metal type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥65 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Retreat cost 3 — gets stranded Active if gusted; run Switch / Escape Rope or a Float Stone-style Tool.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Shieldon first).
How to beat Bastiodon
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥65 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.
- Trap it Active — 3 retreat means it can’t escape without help.
