It evolves from Horsea starting at level 32, and evolves into Kingdra when traded holding a Dragon Scale.

Biology
Physiology
Seadra is a blue sea horse Pokémon. It has a long snout and a number of spikes on its face. Its torso is also covered in spikes as well as rough scales. Seadra's pectoral fins have sharp pointed ends from which it exudes venom. It also has a large tail which is generally coiled up.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Although Seadra is not fully-evolved, it can use Hyper Beam and Giga Impact, since it was fully-evolved in Generation I. Despite not being a Poison type, it can use its Poison Point to induce poisoning in foes.
Behavior
Seadra can swim facing backwards by rapidly flapping its fins and its coiled tail. Seadra will find coral reefs to sleep in. Seadra catches its prey by spinning its body to create large whirlpools which tire its foes. Seadra will then swallow the victim whole using its 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 Horsea did not carry. Whether this gene contributes to its Poison or Dragon attributes is unclear.
Habitat
Seadra live, for the most part, in oceans with a swift current. When not on the move, they can usually be found in coral patches and ocean caverns.
