Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2	A lifelong jungle dweller from 100 million years ago, it would snap obstructing trees with head butts.
HeartGold / SoulSilver	CRANIDOS toughen up their already rock-hard heads by headbutting one another.
X / Omega Ruby	It was resurrected from an iron ball-like fossil. It downs prey with its headbutts.
Y / Alpha Sapphire	A lifelong jungle dweller from 100 million years ago, it would snap obstructing trees with headbutts.
Sun	It lived in jungles around a hundred million years ago. It used its skillful headbutts to combat Aerodactyl.
Moon	In rock layers where Cranidos fossils are found, the fossilized trunks of trees snapped in two are also often found.
Ultra Sun	A primeval Pokémon, it possesses a hard and sturdy skull, lacking any intelligence within.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
