Cradily Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Cradily’s EX Sandstorm card is the very first English Cradily card, debuting as card 3/100 with the locking Poké-Body Super Suction Cups in one of the earliest ex-era expansions.
Set Lore
EX Sandstorm is a fossil-themed set whose symbol is the Claw Fossil and Root Fossil from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, making Cradily a perfect headliner because it evolves from the Root Fossil line in Hoenn.
In-Game
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Cradily is Pokédex #346 and is classified as the Barnacle Pokémon, a fitting prehistoric identity for a holo card from a set built around ancient fossils and desert ruins.
Artist
This holo was illustrated by Midori Harada, a longtime Pokémon artist also known for contributing to Pokémon merchandise and regional map artwork, which gives the card an extra layer of collector appeal beyond gameplay alone.
Cultural Impact
Cradily’s species had a long gap in the anime spotlight, with Bulbapedia noting a return appearance in Pokémon Journeys after 629 episodes, which helps underline how rarely this fossil Pokémon gets center stage compared with flashier Hoenn stars.
