Revision as of 14:03, 8 April 2023
Cradily (Japanese: ユレイドル Yuradle) is a dual-type Rock/Grass Fossil Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Lileep starting at level 40, after it is revived from a Root Fossil.
Biology
Cradily is a green, plantlike Pokémon with various yellow markings on its head, neck, and torso. There are circular, yellow eyespots on its head. However, its true eyes are concealed inside the dark, crescent opening on its head. Surrounding its head at the base are eight pink tentacles, which somewhat resemble flower petals. Its long, flexible neck has yellow bands in the center, and it can be extended to assist in capturing prey. Its body is short and squat with four stubby growths and a yellow, oval, target-like pattern on the chest.
Cradily's heavy body acts as an anchor, preventing it from getting washed away by rough ocean currents. In ancient times, it built its nest in the shallows of warm seas. When the tide went out, it came up on land to search for prey. However, Cradily cannot move very fast due to its short legs. Instead, Cradily can extend its neck and tentacles by three times its usual length. It then uses its tentacles to capture them and melts them with strong digestive acidic fluid secreted by the tentacles.
In the anime
Major appearances
Cradily debuted in Where's Armaldo? as a resident of Wales Island. It was first spotted by Max when he was out collecting firewood, but the others didn't believe him. Cradily was later found by Annie Proctor and taken back to the lab.
In Dealing With Defensive Types!, a Cradily sent Team Rocket blasting off from the Canalave Gym with Energy Ball.
In Battling as Hard as Stone!, Steven used his Cradily in his Masters Eight Tournament match against Ash. It battled and defeated Gengar before losing to Pikachu.
Minor appearances
In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, a Cradily was a part of the feuding armies that were eventually placated by Sir Aaron in the past. Another was living in the Tree of Beginning.
A Cradily appeared in a fantasy in A Gruff Act to Follow!.

Trivia
- Cradily is the only Pokémon with Pokéathlon stats where each one is a different level.
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Cradily and its pre-evolved form.
- Furthermore, Cradily and its pre-evolved form consist of the two types with the most weaknesses, Grass and Rock, but they have only four weaknesses.
- Cradily and its pre-evolved form are the only Grass-type Pokémon that belong in the Water 3 Egg Group.
- Prior to Generation VIII, the Lileep family had only been obtainable with their Hidden Ability in the Pokémon Dream World. Due to the closure of the Pokémon Global Link, the Lileep family could no longer be obtained with their Hidden Ability except through breeding. The Lileep family's Hidden Ability can currently be obtained via Max Raid Battles or the Ability Patch.
Origin
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
Cradily may be based on crinoids (also known as sea lilies), extant marine animals. Crinoid fossils are particularly abundant, possibly inspiring Cradily's status as a fossil Pokémon. Its tentacles may be based on those of the sea anemone. It also bears resemblance to the predatory tunicate.
Name origin
Cradily may be a combination of cradle and lily. It may also involve crinoid, crag, and crazily.
Yuradle may be a combination of 百合 yuri (lily), 揺り籠 yurikago (cradle), and cradle.
