Pachycephalosaurus's entry (page 79) has a listed Slam attack and the Clobbering Charge (ex) ability.
Clobbering Charge (Ex) When a pachycephalosaurus hits a target with its slam attack at the end of a charge, it can initiate a bull rush as a free action to move the struck target back in the same direction as the dinosaur’s charge. The pachycephalosaurus cannot move with the target of the bull rush. If a pachycephalosaurus scores a critical hit against a creature with its slam attack at the end of a charge, it also staggers the target for 1 round. If the victim succeeds at a DC 18 Fortitude save, the stagger effect is negated, but the victim still suffers the effects of the dinosaur’s bull rush attempt. The save DC is Strength-based.

This is all fine, but the Animal Companion entry for the Pachycephalosaurus (page 312) does not have a slam attack, it has a Gore attack instead. This means it cannot use the Clobbering Charge (Ex) which the companion obtains at 7th level.
Please errata.

Has science's onward march caught up to the Archives of Nethys version but not to the official entry, perhaps?

Actually, the PRD lists it as a Slam attack.
Perhaps your copy is just old?
Thanks for the flag, could have sworn I posted this in the rules forum, but it certainly isn't there now.
My copy is old, but it isn't addressed in the Errata to update my copy to the current. The current errata on the paizo site doesn't cover anything beyond page 311, so the creature isn't covered.
PRD has it as a Gore attack here:

Where are you finding the slam attack?

Ah. I was looking at the Bestiary entry, not the Animal Companion entry.
You'd be hard pressed to find a GM that wouldn't allow a 7th level Pachycephalosaurus to perform a Clobbering Charge, though.
I agree, that's why I requested it for errata.
Though, technically speaking, I think I could get a Slam attack via Evolved Companion. So I suppose a GM could just require that I take a Slam attack in order to use the Clobbering Charge ability.
Evolved Companion isn't PFS legal if memory serves.
