How to use Bastiodon in the current VGC format

Bastiodon is listed as a Rock/Steel type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Bastiodon fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Sturdy, Sitrus Berry and Relaxed 32/0/32/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Body Press, Foul Play, Protect, Wide Guard, and Iron Defense. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Bastiodon has important weaknesses to fighting 4x, ground 4x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as oranguru, drampa-mega, abomasnow, torkoal, and machamp appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
