Cradily (Japanese: ユレイドル Yuradle) is a dual-type Rock/Grass Fossil Pokémon.
It evolves from Lileep starting at level 40, after it is revived from a Root Fossil.
Biology
Cradily is a green, plant-like Pokémon, with various yellow markings on its head, neck, and torso. Although the circular yellow markings on its head appear to be its eyes, its true eyes are yellow half-circles covered by a mask-like section of black on the front of its head. It also has nine pink tentacles that surround its neck at the base of its head and resemble petals on a flower. Its body is short and squat, with four stubby leg-like growths. It can extend its neck and use its tentacles to catch its prey. It uses acid to melt the prey once it is captured. Its heavy body acts like an anchor that prevents it from being washed away. In ancient times it built its nest in the shallows of warm seas. When the tide went out, it was seen on beaches.
In the anime
Major appearances
Cradily was first seen in Where's Armaldo? on Wales Island.
Cradily also made an appearance in Dealing With Defensive Types! with an Armaldo.
Minor appearances
One made another cameo in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew living in the Tree of Beginning. Also, one appeared in the opening of the movie.
