CARDEX BACKGROUND
The Pokémon’s story
Cranidos roamed jungles about a hundred million years ago. Its iron-hard skull helped it knock down opponents or break trees blocking its path. It could then eat their ripe Berries. Individuals also clashed heads with one another; in Hisui, the impact of these duels rang like a bell. The Pokédex portrays a prehistoric animal whose forehead was a weapon, a feeding tool, and a means of confrontation among its own kind.
Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.A detail worth noticing
Pokémon Moon notes that fossilized trunks broken in two appear in the same layers as Cranidos fossils. Pokémon Sun describes its headbutts against Aerodactyl. Pokémon Legends: Arceus compares the sound of its duels with a bell.
