Question

Mine knows:

Toxic: Bastiodon is a Staller. Can't have a good Staller without Toxic.

Block: Stops the foe from switching to another Pokemon.

Rest: If Bastiodon ever gets too damaged, this move will just heal it while Toxic still does damage.

Avalanche: In case Bastiodon ever need to use an actual attack, this is a good choice. Low Speed helps this a lot, high accuracy, and deals with Ground types.

Answer 1

This is the most annoying Bastiodon I've ever battled:

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Metal Burst
- Protect
- Stealth Rock
- Roar

Comments

Good moveset but i think you should change block and teach to bastiodon flash cannon or earthquake

Answer 2

I like this set:

*Toxic-self explanatory
*Metal Burst-great for shooting damage back at the opposition
*Taunt-great tanking move and works great with Metal Burst
*Earthquake/Stone Edge/Iron Head-just an attack when/if you need it. I prefer EQ over the STAB moves personally, because Stone Edge has low PP and unreliable accuracy and Bastiodon is meant to last a long time (just keep it away from Fighting, Ground, and Water attacks) and Iron Head doesn't have good coverage.

Support-
*Stealth Rock
*Toxic
*Protect
*Iron Head

Multi-battle partner (Gen 5)-
*Wide Guard
*Toxic
*Protect/Taunt
*Earthquake

Annoyer-I recently thought of this set and plan to try it out myself. Theoretically it could work.
*Toxic
*Swagger
*Protect/Metal Burst/Iron Defense
*Iron Head
