===Behavior===
===Behavior===
Seadra can swim facing backwards by rapidly flapping its fins and its coiled tail.
Seadra will find coral reefs to sleep in. After it wriggles in between the coral branches it uses its tail to hook itself into place as it rests. Seadra catches its prey by spinning its body to create large whirpools which tire its foes. Seadra will then swallow the victim whole using its long snout.
After the female Seadra gives birth, the male Seadra will take care of the young and its nest. It will viciously attack those who venture too near to its children.
Seadra also contains a gene which its pre-evolution Horsea did not carry, whether this gene contributes to its poison or dragon attributes is not clear.
