Trivia
- Kingdra is the only non-legendary, fully evolved Template:Type2 Pokémon not to have a double weakness to Ice (or any weakness to Ice, for that matter). It is possible that due to this, Kingdra lacks the ability to use Flamethrower.
- Kingdra was the first Dragon-type Pokémon not to be part of the Dratini evolution family.
- Though many of Kingdra's Pokédex entries state that it can create whirlpools, it can only learn the move via HM.
- However, many of its Pokédex entries state it creates whirlpools by yawning, and it can learn the move Yawn.
- Kingdra is the only Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, and is, along with Misdreavus, the only Pokémon introduced in a generation in which there are no other Pokémon of one of its types.
- Kingdra is often mistranslated to "Kingora" in the Chuang-Yi translation of Pokémon Adventures.
- Kingdra cannot learn any move that will do at least normal damage to Empoleon
- Kingdra is the only Pokémon in Generation II that's name starts with the letter K.
Origin
Kingdra is based on a weedy sea dragon, although the fact that it dwells on the sea floor while creating whirlpools may be based on the mythical monster Charybdis.
Name origin
Kingdra's name is a combination of king and dragon.
