Strategy Overview

At first glance, Shieldon appears to be an unappealing choice for a team, sporting poor offenses and Speed. His typing also gives him three common weaknesses, two of which are 4x weaknesses. Even with sky high defenses, these shortcomings severely limit Shieldon's usefulness, making him almost completely incapable of performing any offensive role. Not all is lost for this poor dinosaur, though, as he was blessed with a great ability in Sturdy, which almost always allows him to set up Stealth Rock. With ten resistances and access to Metal Burst, Shieldon can be quite formidable if used correctly.
