Description: A grey dinosaur Pokémon, Cranidos was resurrected by scientists using a Skull Fossil. It resembles a Pachycephalosaurus, with a distinctive, shiny blue dome atop its head. On the grey scales below the dome, Cranidos has four white spikes and a long stripe of blue trailing down its back and tail. It has bright red eyes and three claws on each hand and foot.
Living 100 million years ago, Cranidos were found in the same areas as Aerodactyl and were often at odds with the avian Pokémon. They relied on their thick skulls for most attacks and to hunt their prey. They were not believed to be particularly smart.
