# Shieldon #69/114 — Steam Siege

## Summary

Shieldon is a mid-tier Restored Pokémon from the Fossil mechanic, a Sinnoh favorite among players who like the Armor Fossil lineage that leads to Bastiodon. Mizue's name on the illustration credit adds quiet appeal, but as an Uncommon this is more a binder filler than a chase. A $0.26 modelled guide with 2 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: a PSA 10 guides at $15, 58 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.16 out of Pitch Black.
