Seadra seems to be based on a {{wp|seahorse}}. Its {{pkmn|category}} may be a reference to the Japanese word for seahorse, ''tatsu-no-otoshigo'' (dragon's child), which is derived from the myth that a seahorse that lives for a century will transform into a {{wp|dragon}}. Its spiky, poisonous fins are reminiscent of a {{wp|Pterois|lionfish}}, 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}}. | Seadra seems to be based on a {{wp|seahorse}}.
