What it does
Before doing damage, you may switch 1 of the Defending Pokémon with 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. If you do, this attack does 30 damage to the new Defending Pokémon. If the Defending Pokémon would be Knocked Out by this attack, you may remove all damage counters from Cradily.
The Defending Pokémon can't retreat during your opponent's next turn.
It lives in the shallows of warm seas. When the tide goes out, it digs up prey from beaches.

Where it came from
Cradily card 21/146 was released in the Legends Awakened expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in 2008. This set focused on integrating the Sinnoh region's mechanics with Pokémon from earlier generations, specifically highlighting fossil Pokémon. Cradily, a dual Rock and Grass type, was featured here to capitalize on the Fossil-themed revival mechanics that defined its gameplay role at the time.
The artwork for this card was created by illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose distinctive, clean style has defined the Pokémon franchise's visual identity since its inception. Sugimori designed the card to emphasize Cradily's unique, plant-like anatomy and sea-lily inspiration. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional, if niche, addition to the competitive landscape, praised by collectors for its classic, straightforward aesthetic that adhered to the established artistic guidelines of the Diamond and Pearl era.
