| ===Celebrate the New Year Again: Kingdra=== | | ===Who's That Pokémon!?=== |
| * '''Kingdra''' (Japanese: '''キングドラ''' ''Kingdra''), the Dragon Pokémon, is the dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} Pokémon 230th in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. | | * I'm not very powerful, but I have a lot of potential. |
| * Kingdra is the final evolutionary form of {{p|Horsea}}, evolving from {{p|Seadra}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dragon Scale}}. It was introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, in a [[Generation II|generation]] later than its previous stages. | | * You'll find me in just about any body of water. |
| * Kingdra is said to be able to create whirlpools just by yawning, moving, and coming to the surface. It sleeps deep on the ocean floor, hides in underwater caves, and creates tornadoes just by waking up. When a storm arrives, it is said to be searching for prey. | | * I tend to be sold by con men. |
| * Kingdra is most likely based on a {{wp|weedy sea dragon}}, but it still shares many traits with regular {{wp|seahorse}}s. Its whirlpool-related traits may come from the mythical {{wp|Charybdis}}. | | * I have one of the smallest move sets out of any Pokémon. |
| * Kingdra, along with {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flygon}}, and {{p|Salamence}}, is one of the mascots of {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.
| | * My evolution is one of the most popular Pokémon in its generation. |
| * In the anime, Kingdra debuted in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'', where it lost to [[Ash's Totodile]] in the first match of the [[Whirl Cup]]. It later appeared in ''[[EP254|Better Eight than Never!]]'' under [[Blackthorn City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Clair]]. | | * I am the only Pokémon that can be caught at Level 1000 in the wild. |
| * In ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', {{adv|Silver}}'s {{p|Seadra}} evolved into Kingdra when he traded it to {{adv|Gold}} for {{p|Poliwhirl}}, which also [[Polibo|evolved]]. The two then traded back, so that each would have their original Pokémon, though fully evolved. Kingdra's name is often spelled "Kingora" in the Chuang-Yi translation of the manga. | | * I've been available in every main series game except for one. |
| * While usually {{tcg|Water}}-type in the TCG, some cards of Kingdra are under the {{tcg|Colorless}}, {{tcg|Fire}}, {{tcg|Metal}}, and {{tcg|Fighting}} types. | |
| * To celebrate the {{wp|Dragon (zodiac)|Year of the Water Dragon}}, {{pkmn|egg}}s containing Shiny Pokémon that are or will evolve into Dragon-type Pokémon are being given away in Pokémon Centers in Japan, and one of these Pokémon is Horsea. The {{tcg|Dragon}} type was introduced in the TCG for the same reason.
