Before its extinction, Cradily inhabited environments adjacent to bodies of water, such as seas or oceans, particularly in warm areas. Its personal nest was often made in the shoals of the sea. It was a common sight on beaches when the tides receded.
To prevent being washed out by rough tides, Cradily utilized its body as an anchor.
Root fossils, from which this Pokémon is resurrected, have been found in the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions.
