Kingdra (Japanese: キングドラ Kingudora) is a Water/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Kingdra resembles of a large, blue weedy sea dragon with two branch-like horns on its head and two pairs of flippers on each side with a yellow underbelly.
Behavior[]
It is said that Kingdra lives and sleeps at the bottom of the sea floor, at extreme depths that are otherwise devoid of life due to water pressure. It also usually hides in underwater caves. It is believed to create maelstroms by yawning. When a storm arrives, it is said to awaken and wander about in search of prey. When it comes to the surface, it creates a huge whirlpool with enough force to swallow ships.
Kingdra will appear on land whenever a storm is whipped up at sea. Once it crosses paths with Dragonite, a fierce battle ensues. The scales that Kingdra shed give off a brilliant gleam and are often given to royalty as gifts.
Natural Abilities[]
Kingdra can create massive whirlpools at the bottom of the sea. Its abilities are Sniper and Swift Swim.
Evolution[]
Kingdra evolves from Seadra when traded with a Dragon Scale. It is the final evolution of Horsea.

Etymology[]
Kingdra comes from king, dragon, and hydra.
Origin[]
Kingdra is based on a weedy sea dragon (a type of seahorse with similar horns and fins to Kingdra). Its Template:Type-type is because of both its sea dragon origins and the Japanese word for seahorse, Template:Tt, which means "dragon's illegitimate child".
