Two things. One, shouldn't it's German name origin be "seA dragon king" instead of "seE dragon king"? Two, wouldn't you say Kingdra more percisely resembles a leafy sea dragon?

Germans spell Ice "eis", tea "tee", and sea "see." evkl 04:35, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

If the English names represent anything, several Pokémon names are, or contain, mis-spelled English words. Some examples are Jynx, Onix and Staryu. Does German do the same?User142 | Talk 11:25, 3 January 2006 (CST)

Kingdra / King Ghidora?

Something just occured to me: Kingdra (キングドラ) is very close to King Ghidora (キングギドラ), the famous rival of Godzilla. Aside from King Ghidora containing an extra katakana, they're the same word. Granted, the creatures don't look similar at all, aside from both being dragon-like, but does anyone think that this could be the inspiration for the name?

Kingudora vs Kingugidora. Possible, but the name section's all speculation anyway. TTEchidnaFire echyGSDS! 01:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Flash Cannon

Why can Kingdra learn Flash Cannon, but not Solarbeam. I know it may have to do with the type of Kingdra, but the moves are both close to the same idea. Both store and release light. Any ideas? --PsychicRider 03:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
