what's better my moveset is meant to stall but I dont want the opponent to switch which is better to keep in. block is until cradily dies infestion does damage about 1/16 health over turns and lasts 4-5 turns. infestion does damage and with toxic and confusion along with giga drain is pretty great and 4-5 is the perfect amount.

Thanks! :D

Infestation for sure.
Infest+ Toxic is a really Crippling stall and it Gets Amnesia and Barrier as well as Recover Making it one of the Best Walls in the Game.

FIRST

Let's take a look at Cradily's Special Attack...

Special Attack: 81

It has the same base stat as its Attack, and Infestation...?

Base Power: 20

WOW.
It's not that much, but Block...?

Base Power: IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ONE!!!

MEH.
Really? Trapping your opponents is one thing, but attacking matters too.

So Infestation or Block?

I would definitely go for Infestation, because not only does trap your opponent, the opponent also receives damage.

AND...

Who would expect Infestation on Cradily? Block can be expected (sort of).

Block – traps opponent
Infestation – traps opponent
Infestation > Block

You're logic is amazing xD

Jk, I know why you said Infestation was better.
You do know that infestation is a trapping move right? It is block with damage
Yeah I know. The first gym in my Y showed me dat XD
