Cradily 4/101 · Plasma Blast

Cradily is Pokédex #346, generation 3 (Hoenn). Cradily is a Stage 1 Grass Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Lileep. In this catalog that name is Lileep (#345).

Cradily sits at 4/101 in Plasma Blast, position 4 of 105. Before it is 3 Lileep, and after it is 5 Tropius. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on August 14, 2013. The printed size is 101. This checklist is longer, at 105 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

The attack Lifesplosion lists no damage number. The cost is Grass. For each Energy attached to this Pokémon, search your deck for a Stage 2 Pokémon and put it onto your Bench. Shuffle your deck afterward. Spiral Drain is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Heal 20 damage from this Pokémon. Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Water -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It lives in the shallows of warm seas. When the tide goes out, it digs up prey from beaches."

Cradily (#346) has 8 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2024. The earliest other card is Cradily 3/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 7 other cards of Cradily list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Blast set binder is where a full Plasma Blast set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cradily can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
