Its Ability

Super Suction Cups

As long as Cradily is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Pokémon can't retreat.

Its attacks

Lure Poison

Before using this effect, you may switch the Defending Pokémon with 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon, if any. The Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.

Spiral Drain

50

Remove 2 damage counters from Cradily (remove 1 if there is only 1).

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Super Suction Cups. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Lileep to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fire ×2. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,620 tournament lists we have read, 1,307 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
