You can't catch a Cranidos, but you can revive it using a Skull Fossil.
In Diamond you can find Skull Fossils while mining in the Underground. In Pearl you can't find Skull fossils and in Platinum this depends on the last digit of your Trainer ID Number. If it's an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9) you can find Skull fossils. You can regenerate a Skull fossil into Cranidos at the Oreburgh Mining Museum.
You can't find a Skull fossil in HeartGold/SoulSilver, but if you trade it to this game and then bring it to the Pewter Museum of Science, it can be regenerated into Cranidos.
In Black/White and Black2/White2 you may obtain a Skull fossil in Twist Mountain, from a Worker in the Ice Rock room. He hands out a fossil every day, so maybe you'll get lucky.
In Black2/White2 you can purchase rocks in antique shops at Join Avenue, which may contain a Skull fossil. You can bring the Skull fossil to the Nacrene Museum to regenerate it into Cranidos.
In X/Y you can find a Skull fossil while smashing rocks in the Glittering Cave. Then you can bring it to Ambrette Town.
In Alpha Sapphire you can find a Skull fossil if you use Rock Smash in different Mirage spots. Then you can bring it to the Devon Corporation in Rustboro City to regenerate it into Cranidos. You can't find a Skull fossil in Omega Ruby.
you can't catch a cranidos you have to go under ground and dig its fossil up and the taken to the scientist in oreburgh city. hope this helps...
No, you can't catch a Cranidos in Pokémon Pearl, but you can get it. If you have a Skull Fossil, you can let it revive at the Museum in Oreburgh City and than you get a Cranidos.
You can't catch Cranidos in the wild or from a special event. You'll need to trade for it from Pokemon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.
route 6
You have to trade one in from Diamond.
It depends on your ID number as if you have it one way or the other than you either only catch sheildon or you can only catch cranidos. You have to go to the underground to dig up their fossils to get them though. Then you get them revived.
I have no clue
when your a ranger thin guy in vein forest reports that a wartortle is chasing a cranidos when you catch them cranidos becomes your partner well for wartortle he a coward a runs away i have a turtwig as a partner so good luck :) or :( tell me if you like the cranidos
You can't catch it; you have to go underground and find a Skull Fossil. Then go to the museum in Oreburgh City and talk to the Scientist guy. Ask him to revive it, and then he'll give you a Cranidos at Level 20.
You get a fossil from underground then you give it to the person in the museum to excavate a fossil. and you will either get a Sheildon or a Cranidos . P.S The museum is in Oreburgh City.
Not much. Pokemon diamond and Pokemon pearl have different Pokemon. for example, in pearl you can catch a glameow but not a cranidos and in diamond you can catch a cranidos but not a gleameow. And at the end of pearl you can catch Palkia the legendary and at the end of Diamond you can catch Diagla. But the games are basically the same. And there you go.....
you can not find a wild rampardos in platinum you have to catch a cranidos by finding a skull fossil underground and then evolve cranidos at lv. 30 hope that helps =)
