| | 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 {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|built its nest in the shallows of warm seas.}} When the tide went out, it was seen on beaches. |
| Cradily is a mostly green Pokémon that seems to resemble a plant, with various yellow markings on its head, neck, and torso.

Cradily is an ancient Pokémon no longer found in the wild, and must be evolved from a {{p|Lileep}} resurrected from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil]]. | |

| ===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 {{m|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===
| |
| [[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
| |
| 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===

| Cradily appear to have once been carnivores, as it both hunted and ingested prey found in seafloors or its immediate surroundings using its eight tentacles.
