Cranidos is a pure rock type and is the other fossil pokemon of Sinnoh, and as far as design goes, I much prefer the design of this fossil than I do with Shieldon, as it stands out a whole lot more to me. When it comes to battling capabilities though, Cranidos has a pretty great attack stat, but the rest of its stats are about average, and in terms of abilities/movepool they aren't all too bad, but I'd potentially call them about average as well. Overall, Cranidos I would consider way more memorable and easier to use than it's counterpart of Shieldon, but at the same time it doesn't quite stand out well either compared to the rest remaining which is why I knew the time was now to get rid of this.
