On a more positive note, it can be used as a win condition in the lategame to kill someone in 12 turns, despite being able to do the same in 6 with another.
Suction Cups + Curse + Rock/Sandstorm = decent bulk. Recover keeps you filled, Rock Slide for STAB.
I say this as someone who genuinely like Cradily: it's unique and has its niche, but overall is pretty mediocre.
Its stats leave it lacking all around on every set. Its typing, while unique, leaves it with 4 weaknesses and only resists Normal and Electric to back it up.
It's setup bait if you use a defensive utility set, and it's setup bait if you try setting up yourself.
