Cranidos is a Rock-type Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Known as the Head Butt Pokémon, it is resurrected from the Armor Fossil. Cranidos evolves into Rampardos starting at level 30. Its most distinctive feature is its incredibly hard, dome-shaped skull, which it uses for head-butting attacks, often against trees to knock down ripe berries for food. Cranidos typically inhabits mountainous regions and ancient forests, though it is extinct in the wild and primarily encountered through fossil revival. In the games, Cranidos is often a choice for players seeking a powerful physical attacker early on, and its evolution, Rampardos, is famous for having one of the highest Attack stats of any non-legendary Pokémon. In the anime, Cranidos has appeared in various episodes, often showcasing its head-butting prowess and playful yet determined nature. Its unique appearance, resembling a pachycephalosaur, contributes to its cultural significance as a representation of ancient life and raw power in the Pokémon world.
