Cry

Shieldon (Japanese: タテトプス Tatetopusu) is a Rock/Steel-type Pokémon and Fossil Pokémon, revived from the Armor Fossil.

Physiology

Shieldon is a small, yellow, ceratopsian-like reptilian Pokémon. It has white toes and a white bump on its back. Shieldon has a dark-gray elliptical face, with a prominent white brow and a white rim on its black snout. Its facial hide is extremely hard; however, it is vulnerable when attacked from behind.

100 million years ago, Shieldon lived in dense forests. It has a habit of polishing its face against tree trunks. It is speculated that few enemies would have considered challenging its armored face. It eats grass, tree roots, and Berries. Its fossils show no sign of damage to its face.

Appearances

Anime

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl anime, Ash Ketchum and his friends, along his old rival, Gary Oak must protect a group of Shieldon from Hunter J and her goons.

Newton's Shieldon

Trivia

Its name is the same as a Sentai villain name Shieldon from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
Shieldon bears some resemblance to Helmasaurs from The Legend of Zelda series, most notably the ones featured in earlier Zelda titles. Both creatures are dinosaur-like quadrupeds with similar body structures. They both possess a hard and durable (somewhat indestructible) front side/face while their soft vulnerable points tend to be the back side/rear.
- Coincidentally, Shieldon's evolution Bastiodon bears a slight resemblance to the more larger Helmasaurs seen within the Legend of Zelda franchise, specifically the Helmasaur King from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Origin

Shieldon is based on a ceratopsian dinosaur and a shield.

Etymology

Shieldon is a portmanteau of shield, the suffix -don (Greek for "tooth," often used in dinosaur names), and possibly the male given name Sheldon.

Tatetopusu comes from 盾 (tate, shield) and ceratopsian.
