Game data

Pokédex entries

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation I.
Generation I
Red Capable of swimming backwards by rapidly flapping its wing-like pectoral fins and stout tail.
Blue
Yellow Touching the back fin causes numbness. It hooks its tail to coral to stay in place while sleeping.
Stadium A clever Pokémon that can swim backwards while facing forward. Fainting may result from a jab of its sharp spikes.
Generation II
Gold An examination of its cell revealed the presence of a gene not found in Horsea. It became a hot topic.
Silver Its fin tips leak poison. Its fins and bones are highly valued as ingredients in herbal medicine.

Stadium 2 An examination of its cell revealed the presence of a gene not found in Horsea. It became a hot topic.
Generation III
Ruby Seadra sleeps after wriggling itself between the braches of coral. Those trying to harvest coral are occasionally stung by this Pokémon's Template:A2 if they fail to notice it.
