Summary
Cranidos is a Rock-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV. Known for its powerful head and ancient origins, Cranidos is the revived form of a fossil Pokémon known as the Skull Fossil.
Type: Rock
Abilities: - Mold Breaker: This ability allows Cranidos's moves to hit through abilities that would normally impede its effectiveness. For example, it can hit through abilities like Levitate and Multiscale. - Hidden Ability (Sheer Force): This ability increases the power of Cranidos's moves that have additional effects, but nullifies those additional effects in the process. This can make Cranidos a formidable attacker.
Interesting Facts: - Cranidos is based on a dinosaur, more specifically the Pachycephalosaurus, known for its thick skull. This is reflected in Cranidos’s design and the fact that it uses its head to deliver devastating blows. - Cranidos evolves into Rampardos starting at level 30,
