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
Physiology
Cradily is a mostly green Pokémon that seems to resemble a plant, with various yellow markings on its head, neck, and torso. There is a section of black on the front of its head, which covers its yellow eyes like a mask and a mouth which has two big teeth in it. It also has eight pink tentacles that surround its neck at the base of its head. Its body is short and squat, with four stubby leg-like growths. Cradily is an ancient 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. Before its extinction, it was able to roam the seafloor in search of its prey, and upon finding it, Cradily used its massive tentacles to grip and then eat its prey. Its tentacles secrete corrosive acid that it uses to melt its prey.
Behavior
In ancient times, Cradily moved around the seafloor with stealth in search of its prey. It was a powerful hunter, and was very vicious to its prey while preparing to eat it. It made 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
