===Moves ===

|-|Shieldon=
*Ancient Power: The user calls upon its prehistoric power to manipulate large boulders and toss them at its enemy. This attack may also infuse The user with additional power, increasing its strength, durability, or speed.
*Endure: The user braces itself for the next attack, keeping it from being incapacitated despite any injuries it may sustain.
*Heavy Slam: The user pushes its entire weight on the target, dealing damage proportional to the difference in weight between it and the target.
*Iron Defense: The user hardens its already tough body even further, greatly increasing its defense against physical attacks.
*Iron Head: The user shrouds itself in metallic energy before ramming into the target to deal damage and potentially interrupt their next attack.
*Metal Burst: The user absorbs the damage from the last attack it withstood and compresses it into an energy ball that it then fires at the target with even greater force. Alternatively, it can preemptively fire the energy ball to absorb enemy attacks and return along the aggressor's attack trajectory.
*Metal Sound: The user lets out a horrible screech that grinds away at the opponent's defense against ranged attacks.
*Protect: The user erects a forcefield that nullifies virtually any attack, but its success rate drops in half with each successive use.
*Swagger: The user beckons the target to attack it, driving them into a berserk frenzy that increases their physical strength, but robs them of rational thought and proper motor control. As a result, the target can hurt themselves instead of launching a successful attack.
*Taunt: The user taunts the target into attacking it, preventing them from thinking clearly and using attacks other than those that directly inflict damage.
*Curse: The user lowers its speed in exchange for attack and defense
*Counter: The user counters the opponent's attack, dealing back more damage
*Double-Edge: The user damages the opponent violently while also taking damage
*Fissure: The user drops the opponent into a fissure, one-hit KO-ing them
*Focus Energy: The user focuses its energy
*Guard Split: The user splits its defensive stats with the opponent
*Headbutt: The user headbutts the opponent
*Rock Blast: The user hurls multiple rocks at the opponent
*Scary Face: The user makes a scary face, astonishing the opponent and lowering their speed
