Cradily 3/100 · Sandstorm

Cradily is Pokédex #346, generation 3 (Hoenn). Cradily is a Stage 2 Grass Pokémon with 100 HP. The card says it evolves from Lileep. In this catalog that name is Lileep (#345).

Cradily sits at 3/100 in Sandstorm, position 3 of 100. Before it is 2 Cacturne, and after it is 4 Dusclops. The set belongs to the EX series. It was released on September 18, 2003. The printed size is 100, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Super Suction Cups is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Cradily is your Active Pokémon, your opponent's Pokémon can't retreat. The attack Lure Poison lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. 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 is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Grass, Colorless, Colorless. Remove 2 damage counters from Cradily (remove 1 if there is only 1). Weakness is Fire ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

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 2004 to 2024. The earliest other card is Cradily ex 90/95 in Team Magma vs Team Aqua (2004). That card is named Cradily ex, while this one is Cradily. That card lists 150 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo EX, and here it is Rare Holo. Ryo Ueda illustrated that card, and Midori Harada illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Cradily list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Midori Harada. I count 352 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Sandstorm set binder is where a full Sandstorm 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.
