Prepare for double battles with Cradily as a noteworthy Physical Sweeper. This moveset focuses to crush rivals using destructive physical moves. Remember prior to Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. Choice Band will increase the damage of Cradily's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. The Shell Bell item option is to help Cradily recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Suction Cups, Cradily cannot be forced to switch out by another pokemon's attack or item.

Cradily proves to be a first-rate Special Sweeper for double battles. This moveset was constructed to overwhelm foes with brute special attacks. In the dark days before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. With Suction Cups, Cradily cannot be forced to switch out by another pokemon's attack or item. With a Miracle Seed equipped to it, Cradily's grass-type attacks have 1.1x power.
