Cranidos (Japanese: ズガイドス Zugaidos) is a Rock-type Fossil Pokémon.
It is resurrected from a Skull Fossil and evolves into Rampardos starting at level 30.
Biology
Physiology
Cranidos is a gray, dinosaur-like Pokémon. It is physically based on the Pachycephalosaurus. The back half of Cranidos's body has a large, spiky pattern of blue and it has a short tail. Cranidos also has stubby arms with three claws, which, despite apparent stubbiness, are still viable for usage in attacking. Cranidos has a hooked beak, red irises, and a hard, dome-shaped head that is colored blue with four spikes on its back. Cranidos has feet with three claws forward and one backward.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Cranidos's main attacking prowess involves charging head-first into its opponents. Cranidos can also use various elemental attacks, but is much weaker with those kinds of moves.
Behavior
In the jungles it lived in 100 million years ago, it would snap obstructing trees with headbutts, and down prey with headbutts as well.
Habitat
Cranidos once lived in dense forests, but has been extinct from the wild for 100 million years and only exists via being cloned from Fossil samples, and descendants of said clones.
