Cradily

Cradily (ユレイドル Yuradle) is a / type Generation III Pokemon that evolves from a Lileep starting at Levwel 40.

Apperence
Cradily is a green pokemon with yellow eyes and a yellow patteren on it's underside. It has yellow teeth and a yellow band around it's neck. It has red and pink "hair" coming out of it's head.

Information
Cradily has been extinct for 100 million years before the series. It is brought back to life as a Lileep restored from fossils. Cradily is an aquatic creature that makes its nest in the shallows of warm seas. For this reason, when the tide goes out, Cradily can be seen on what are now wet beaches. In a particularly turbulent area of the sea shore, Cradily anchors itself to the sea floor with its heavy, particularly shaped lower body so as to prevent itself from being washed out to sea.

Trivia

 * Cradily has the best Special Defense of any Grass type Pokémon.
 * Cradily's shiny sprite colors resembles its pre-evolution (Lileep)'s color.

Origin
It is possibly based on crinoids or sea lilies.
