Kingdra (Japanese: キングドラ Kingdra) is a dual-type Water/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves from Seadra when traded holding a Dragon Scale. It is the final form of Horsea.

Biology

Kingdra is a large, seahorse-like Pokémon with a tightly curled tail. It is covered in blue scales except for its yellow, compact belly scales. There are thin spines with a single branch atop its head and thin, white fins under its cheeks. Its thin snout is powerful, allowing squirts of water jets with devastating power to be fired. Two-pronged fins extend slightly past its cheeks. On its back is a white fin supported by thin, blue spines similar to the ones on its head.

The yawn of a sleeping Kingdra is powerful enough to create undercurrents capable of destroying small ships. Should it decide to emerge from the depths of the ocean, Kingdra's strength can create large whirlpools and sea-born tornadoes on the surface. Because of its immense power, Kingdra often hibernates deep in uninhabited areas of the sea to rest and build up its energy. When a storm arrives, Kingdra is said to awaken and wander about in search of prey.

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
EP216 Kingdra Ash's Pokédex Kingdra, the Dragon Pokémon. Normally rest on the ocean floor, but in periods of high activity, even a simple yawn has enough power to create whirlpools.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Silver's Seadra evolves into Kingdra when he trades her to Gold for Poliwhirl, which also evolves, in Ampharos Amore but is not seen in this form until Tyranitar War. The two then trade back, so that each would have his original, though evolved, Pokémon. She is then used in his battle with Gold in the ruins of Ecruteak City, where she defeats Sudobo after being switched in. Silver also uses her to climb waterfalls.

In Debonaire Dragonair, Clair of the Blackthorn Gym also has a Kingdra which is seen following its Trainer as they approach the Dragon's Den.

Juan also has a Kingdra which he uses to assist Ruby and Sapphire in their training. It first appeared in With a Spoink in Your Step I.

Trivia

Origin

Kingdra is based on a weedy sea dragon, but still shares many characteristics with regular seahorses. The fact that it dwells on the sea floor while creating whirlpools may be based on the mythical monster Charybdis. Its secondary Dragon-type may be a reference to a Japanese name for seahorses, 竜の落し子 tatsu-no-otoshigo, which means "dragon's child", and to the legends of Ryūjin and East Asian dragons, where they are said to bear power over the seas of the world, live on the floors of deep bodies of water, and are also known for their weather like ascensions into the heavens.

Name origin

Kingdra may be a combination of king and dragon or hydra (a mythological sea creature).
