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.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
DP015 Cranidos Ash's Pokédex Cranidos, the Head Butt Pokémon. Cranidos lived in the deep woods about one-hundred million years ago, and its cranium is as hard as steel.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Main article: Roark's Rampardos

Cranidos appeared in the fifth and sixth rounds of the Diamond & Pearl chapter Pokémon Adventures.

A Cranidos is owned by Roark, which he sends out against Platinum in her Gym match. It seemed to be one of, if not the, first Pokémon that he owned, having been hatched from an Egg long ago. It later evolved to Rampardos around the three Sinnoh Trainers' arrival on Canalave City, like its game counterpart.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Main article: Roark's Rampardos

Roark's Cranidos also appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!, where it assisted its Trainer in rescuing Hareta, who had been captured by Team Galactic's Grunts. Later, Cranidos was used in a one-on-one Gym battle with Hareta's Piplup that ended in Hareta's favor with the help of an Oran Berry Roark gave to him earlier.
