'''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}}. | |||
(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.) | |||
== | ==Biology== | ||
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. | |||
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. | |||
===Evolution=== | |||
Kingdra evolves from {{p|Seadra}} and is the final form of {{p|Horsea}}. | |||

= | ===Origin=== | ||
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}}. | |||

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.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

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.

Trivia
- Kingdra's name is often mistranslated to "Kingora" in the Chuang Yi translation of Pokémon Adventures.
- Kingdra is the only Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
- Kingdra and its pre-evolved forms share their category with Dratini, its evolved forms, Salamence, and Kalosian Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
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).
