Flavor Text

: While it can guard against any sort of attack from the front, it is left without recourse when attacked from behind.
: It lived in the same environments as Rampardos. Their fossils have been found together— seemingly from after they’d fought to the finish.
: The bones of its face are huge and hard, so they were mistaken for its spine until after this Pokémon was successfully restored.
: This Pokémon is from roughly 100 million years ago. Its terrifyingly tough face is harder than steel.
