About Cranidos
Its hard skull is its distinguishing feature. It snapped trees by headbutting them, and then it fed on their ripe berries.

Playability Overview
Cranidos offers a low-risk early attacker with potential for a strong Stone Edge, but its reliance on a coin flip and lack of resistance limit consistent offensive pressure.
