Strategy Overview
At first glance, Cradily might seem handicapped as a Curse sweeper due to its relatively large number of weaknesses and only average stats. While Cradily's Rock typing might trouble it to some extent, it does increase Cradily's Special Defense stat by 50% in a sandstorm. Combined with its access to Recover, a move that other Curse users, such as Swampert, Tyranitar, and Regirock, wish they had, Cradily can become quite a formidable threat.
