Cranidos is a Rock-type Pokémon that can be found in the Sinnoh region. It is one of the most sought-after Pokémon in Brilliant Diamond as it has a high attack stat and can learn powerful moves. In this guide, we will explore how to get Cranidos in Brilliant Diamond and what to do once you have it.
Step 1: Obtaining the Skull Fossil
Cranidos is a fossil Pokémon, meaning in order to obtain it, you need to find the correct fossil and revive it. In Brilliant Diamond, this fossil is known as the Skull Fossil. You can find it in the Underground of Sinnoh, which is accessed through the Diglett's Cave in Route 6. Once you have the Skull Fossil, you need to take it to the Oreburgh Mining Museum to revive it.
Step 2: Reviving Cranidos
To revive Cranidos, go to the Oreburgh Mining Museum and speak to the scientist near the entrance. He will revive the fossil for you, and you will obtain a level 20 Cranidos. Note that you can only obtain one Cranidos per game. If you want multiple Cranidos, you will need to trade with someone who has an extra one.
Step 3: Training Cranidos
Now that you have Cranidos, it's time to train it to be a powerhouse in battle. One of the main things to focus on is its attack stat. Cranidos has one of the highest attack stats among all Pokémon, so you want to make the most of it. Consider teaching it moves like Headbutt, Zen Headbutt, and Stone Edge to take advantage of its high attack stat and typing. You can also give it an item like the Choice Band or Life Orb to boost its power even further.
Step 4: Evolving Cranidos
Cranidos evolves into Rampardos at level 30. Rampardos has even higher attack and speed stats, making it an even more powerful Pokémon. Make sure to evolve Cranidos as soon as it hits level 30 to take advantage of Rampardos's power in battles.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can obtain and train a powerful Cranidos in Brilliant Diamond. Remember to focus on its attack stat and teach it powerful moves to make the most of its potential. Don't forget to evolve it into Rampardos for even more power. With Cranidos on your team, you'll be unstoppable in battles.
