Cradily (Japanese: ユレイドル Yuradle) is a dual-type Rock/Grass Pokémon.
It evolves from Lileep starting at level 40.
Biology
Physiology
The Cradily has some markings on its skin that looks like its eyes, which are actually the yellow dots on the black part of its head. It also has eight pink tentacles around its neck. Its body is a lump with four tubes. Cradily is a fossil Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from a Lileep resurrected from a Root Fossil.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Cradily's strength is far greater than that of its pre-evolution. It is able to roam the seafloor in search of its prey, and upon finding it, Cradily uses its massive tentacles to grip and then eat its prey. Its tentacles secrete corrosive acid that it uses to melt its prey.
Behavior
Cradily moves around the seafloor with stealth in search of its prey. It is a powerful hunter, and is very vicious to its prey while preparing to eat it. It makes its nests in shallow waters of the warm seas.
Habitat
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.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Cradily appear to have once been carnivores seeing as it both hunted and ingested prey found in seafloors or its immediate surroundings using its eight tentacles.
In the anime

One made another cameo in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew on the Tree of Beginning.
