How to Get a Rampardos on "Pokemon Platinum"
In the "Pokemon" video games, certain species of prehistoric Pokemon have died off from the modern world. However, if you find one of their fossils, you can resurrect them and add them to your team. For example, in "Pokemon Platinum," after you collect the Skull Fossil from the Sinnoh Underground, you can revive it into Cranidos, a small Rock-type Pokemon. After some training, Cranidos evolves into Rampardos, a Pokemon that uses its hard head to shatter anything that impedes its path.
