MetaMons competitive notes
Cradily is a rock/grass-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Defense — at 495 BST it is a typical total for competitive play, with slow (base 43) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Suction Cups ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Cradily. Build around what Cradily actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
