'''Kingdra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キングドラ''' ''Kingdra'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].
 
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Seadra}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[Dragon Scale]]. It is the final form of {{p|Horsea}}.


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Seadra}} by [[trade]] with [[Dragon Scale]]. It is the final form of {{p|Horsea}}.
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for these details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kingdra is a large, {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is similar to a {{wp|seahorse}} 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.
Kingdra is a larger, more elegant version of [[Seadra]]. It has beautiful fins that wave in the water as it swims. Its head has a crest-like fin along its cheeks. Sometimes, a Kingdra leads a herd of {{p|Horsea}} and Seadra and protects it from danger. Its belly scales are now more compact, unlike Seadra. The snout has also become thinner but more powerful in squirting [[Aqua Jet|water jets]] in devastating power.
====Gender differences====
None.


===Special abilities===
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 waterspouts on the surface. Because of its immense power, Kingdra often hibernates deep in uninhabited areas of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea}} to build up its energy, usually at the bottom of the seas. When a storm arrives, Kingdra is said to awaken and wander about in search of prey. Kingdra's awakening can cause tornadoes. It is known to have fierce battles with {{p|Dragonite}} whenever they meet. Kingdra's gleaming scales are gifted to royals.

===Habitat===

===Diet===
===Evolution===

Kingdra evolves from {{p|Seadra}} and is the final form of {{p|Horsea}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Goh Kingdra.png|thumb|250px|Kingdra in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
Kingdra made its debut in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', where it was one of the illusory Pokémon [[Molly Hale]] created in her dream world through the {{OBP|Unown|M03}}. It was Molly's first Pokémon during her {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Misty}}, where it quickly defeated {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}.
 
Kingdra made its main series debut in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'', under the ownership of {{OBP|Christopher|EP216}}, who used it to compete in the [[Whirl Cup]]. It lost to {{AP|Totodile}} in the first match after he plugged up Kingdra's snout while it used {{m|Hydro Pump}}, causing excess water to build up inside of it, thus sending it flying across the stadium.
 
In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', [[Clair]] used a Kingdra in her [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}}. It faced off against {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Noctowl}}, defeating the latter. In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Kingdra was later used in the [[rematch]], going up against {{AP|Snorlax}} and eventually being defeated.
 
In ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', [[Goh]] caught a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Kingdra}} as part of his second [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]].
 
====Minor appearances====
A Kingdra appeared in ''[[PK09|Snorlax Snowman]]''.
 
In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', a Kingdra was at a [[Pokémon Center]].
 
In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', a {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} {{pkmn|Egg}} bounced off a Kingdra's head while adrift in the ocean.

In ''[[PS109|Ampharos Amore]]'', {{adv|Silver}}'s {{p|Seadra}} evolved into a Kingdra when he traded her to {{adv|Gold}} for {{p|Poliwhirl}}, which also [[Polibo|evolved]], but it was not seen until ''[[PS111|Tyranitar War]]''. The two then traded back, so that each would have his original, though evolved, Pokémon. She was then used in his battle with Gold in the ruins of [[Ecruteak City]], where she defeated [[Sudobo]] after being switched in. Silver also used her to {{m|Waterfall|climb waterfalls}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Kingdra's normal coloration in {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} is similar to the [[alternate coloration]] of its prevolutions.  This was corrected in {{game|Crystal}}.
* Kingdra's name is often mistranslated to "Kingora" in the [[Chuang Yi]] translation of [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===Origin===
===Origin===
Kingdra is based on a {{wp|weedy sea dragon}}.
Kingdra seems to be based on a {{wp|seahorse}}, possibly the {{wp|crowned seahorse}}, with some seadragon (genera ''{{wp|Phyllopteryx}}'' and ''{{wp|leafy seadragon|Phycodurus}}'') elements. Its {{t|Dragon}} type and {{pkmn|category}} may be a reference to the Japanese word for seahorse, 竜の落とし子 ''tatsu-no-otoshigo'' (literally "illegitimate child of a dragon"), which is derived from the myth that a seahorse that lives for a century will transform into a {{wp|dragon}}, as well as the aforementioned seadragons.
 
The fact that Kingdra dwells on the seafloor while creating {{wp|whirlpool}}s may be a reference to {{wp|Ryūjin}}, a Japanese sea deity; or {{wp|Charybdis}}, a sea monster in Greek mythology. Its ability to shoot {{wp|cephalapod ink|ink}} is reminiscent of a {{wp|squid}}, and the shape of its snout and {{a|Sniper}} Ability are reminiscent of a {{wp|water gun}}.
 
====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Kingdra's name is a combination of ''king'' and ''dragon''.
Kingdra may be a combination of ''king'' and ''dragon'' or ''{{wp|Lernaean Hydra|Hydra}}'' (a mythological water creature).
Its German name, Seedraking, comes from {{tt|See|sea}}, {{tt|Drache|dragon}} and ''king''. Its French name, Hyporoi, comes from {{tt|hippocampe|seahorse}} and {{tt|roi|king}}.

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 while holding a Dragon Scale. It is the final form of Horsea.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Kingdra is a large, piscine Pokémon that is similar to a seahorse 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 waterspouts on the surface. Because of its immense power, Kingdra often hibernates deep in uninhabited areas of the sea to build up its energy, usually at the bottom of the seas. When a storm arrives, Kingdra is said to awaken and wander about in search of prey. Kingdra's awakening can cause tornadoes. It is known to have fierce battles with Dragonite whenever they meet. Kingdra's gleaming scales are gifted to royals.

Evolution

Kingdra evolves from Seadra and is the final form of Horsea.

Main series

Kingdra in the anime

Major appearances

Kingdra made its debut in Spell of the Unown: Entei, where it was one of the illusory Pokémon Molly Hale created in her dream world through the Unown. It was Molly's first Pokémon during her battle against Misty, where it quickly defeated Goldeen.

Kingdra made its main series debut in Dueling Heroes, under the ownership of Christopher, who used it to compete in the Whirl Cup. It lost to Totodile in the first match after he plugged up Kingdra's snout while it used Hydro Pump, causing excess water to build up inside of it, thus sending it flying across the stadium.

In Fangs for Nothin', Clair used a Kingdra in her Gym battle against Ash. It faced off against Pikachu and Noctowl, defeating the latter. In Better Eight Than Never, Kingdra was later used in the rematch, going up against Snorlax and eventually being defeated.

In Looking Out for Number Two!, Goh caught a Kingdra as part of his second Project Mew Trial Mission.

Pokémon Adventures

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

In Debonaire Dragonair, Clair owns a Kingdra, which followed her as they approached the Dragon's Den.

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

Trivia

Origin

Kingdra seems to be based on a seahorse, possibly the crowned seahorse, with some seadragon (genera Phyllopteryx and Phycodurus) elements. Its Dragon type and category may be a reference to the Japanese word for seahorse, 竜の落とし子 tatsu-no-otoshigo (literally "illegitimate child of a dragon"), which is derived from the myth that a seahorse that lives for a century will transform into a dragon, as well as the aforementioned seadragons.

The fact that Kingdra dwells on the seafloor while creating whirlpools may be a reference to Ryūjin, a Japanese sea deity; or Charybdis, a sea monster in Greek mythology. Its ability to shoot ink is reminiscent of a squid, and the shape of its snout and Sniper Ability are reminiscent of a water gun.

Name origin

Kingdra may be a combination of king and dragon or Hydra (a mythological water creature).
