Seadra (Japanese: シードラ Seadra) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Horsea starting at level 32 and evolves into Kingdra when traded holding a Dragon Scale.
Biology
Physiology
Seadra is a primarily blue seahorse Pokémon. It has no arms or legs. It has a long snout and a number of spikes on its head, on the sides and on the top. Its torso is covered with rough, cream-colored scales. Seadra's pectoral fins have sharp, pointed, cream-colored tips from which it exudes venom. It also has a large tail, which is generally coiled up.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
It is capable of swimming backwards while facing forward. Despite being a pure Water-type, it is capable of learning several Dragon-type moves.
Although Seadra is not fully-evolved, it can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact, since it was fully-evolved in Generation I.
Behavior
Seadra can swim facing backwards by rapidly flapping its fins and its coiled tail. They will find coral reefs to sleep in. They catch their prey by spinning their body to create large whirlpools which tire their foes. Seadra then swallow the victim whole using their long snout.
After the female Seadra gives birth, the male Seadra will take care of the young and its nest. It will viciously attack those who venture too near to its children.
Seadra also contains a gene which its pre-evolution did not carry. Whether this gene contributes to its Poison or Dragon attributes is unclear.
Habitat
Seadra sleeps after wriggling itself between the branches of coral. It can be found in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

Trivia
- Seadra is the only non-Poison Pokémon that can have Poison Point as an ability.
- Seadra, Cascoon, Vigoroth, and Swadloon are the only Pokémon who lose their pre-evolution's ability, then regain it upon evolution to their final form.
- Although it is not a Dragon-type, Seadra is classified as the Dragon Pokémon. It shares this trait with its pre-evolved form, Horsea.
- As of Generation V, Seadra's EV Yield (1 Defense, 1 Sp. Atk) is unique.
Origin
Seadra is based on a seahorse, though its ability to shoot ink resembles that of a squid. The fact that it's known as the Dragon Pokémon might be a reference to Leafy sea dragons.
Name origin
Seadra's name may be a combination of the words sea and dragon. The dra part could also come from hydra, a mythological sea creature.
