Learn the best way to use a Cradily Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Cradily is a card that becomes stronger based on the number of Special Conditions inflicted on the Defending Pokemon. Its ability Selective Slime has the chance to inflict a Special Condition like Burn, Confusion, or Poison. Depending on the number of these statuses on the opponent’s Active Pokemon, Cradily’s move Miasma Wind does a 100 damage for each of them. However, Selective Slime is a coinflip ability requiring heads to inflict a Special Condition. Which is why this deck has Volcanion ex and Brute Bonnet for guaranteed Burns and Poison.
