Biology
Shieldon is a little yellow reptile Pokémon that looks like a ceratopsian. It has white toes and a white hump on the back of its neck. Shieldon’s face is dark gray and oval, with a pronounced white forehead and a white ring around its black nose. Although its face hide is exceptionally tough, it is susceptible when struck from behind.
Shieldon thrived in lush woods 100 million years ago. It enjoys cleaning its face on tree trunks. Few adversaries are said to have contemplated confronting its armored face. It subsists on grass, tree roots, and berries. Its fossils reveal no signs of facial injury. Shieldon is regarded as being mild-mannered and despising fighting.
