* '''[[Kingdra (Unleashed 85)|Kingdra Prime]]''' - Kingdra Prime could attack for {{tt|60 damage|20 if the opponent had a Fire-type Pokémon in play}} for only {{e|Water}} with ''Dragon Steam''. ''Spray Splash'', Kingdra's Poké-Power, allowed the Kingdra player to place 10 damage on one of the opponent's Pokémon once per turn. ''Spray Splash'' was stackable, meaning that the Kingdra player could use it multiple times per turn if he or she had multiple Kingdra Prime on the field. | * '''[[Kingdra (Unleashed 85)|Kingdra Prime]]''' - Kingdra Prime could attack for {{tt|60 damage|20 if the opponent had a Fire-type Pokémon in play}} for only {{e|Water}} with ''Dragon Steam''.

* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Kingdra|7}}''' - The Kingdra from {{TCG|Legends Awakened}} was a stronger attacker than Kingdra Prime, but lacked the important ''Spray Splash'' power. Although it was generally a useful attacker, it shone against Fire-type Pokémon. Whereas Kingdra Prime's ''Dragon Steam'' did only 20 damage if the opponent had a Fire-type in play, this Kingdra did 60 damage regardless ''and'' 20 a Benched Pokémon with ''Dragon Pump''. Kingdra's second attack, ''Aqua Stream'' provided an additional threat late in the game. ''Aqua Stream'' did 10 damage for each {{e|Water}} Energy card in the player's discard pile for {{e}}. Then, those Energy cards were shuffled back into the player's deck. Since this list runs 8 {{e|Water}} energy, ''Aqua Stream'' maxes out at 80 damage without an {{TCG|Expert Belt}}. | * '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Kingdra|7}}''' - The Kingdra from {{TCG|Legends Awakened}} was a stronger attacker than Kingdra Prime, but lacked the important ''Spray Splash'' power.

* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regice|36}}''' - With its ''Regi Move'' Poké-Power, Regice could be potentially devastating to decks based around Basic Pokémon. It was especially effective since Kingdra was used in a format dominated by {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}. It also caused significant disruption to decks with a designated Basic starter Pokémon, such as {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}} in {{TCG|Sablelock}} and {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}} in a variety of decks. | * '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regice|36}}''' - With its ''Regi Move'' Poké-Power, Regice could be potentially devastating to decks based around Basic Pokémon.

* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Manectric|11}}''' - Manectric prevented the opponent from attacking Claydol, the deck's main drawing support, with attacks such as {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}'s ''Dragon Rush''. Considering the popularity of cards like Garchomp C LV.X and {{TCG ID|Platinum|Honchkrow G|77}} during Kingdra's era, Manectric was a popular tech. Additionally, with the use of {{TCG|Multi Energy}} in the deck, Manectric could provide a secondary attacker against Poké-Power heavy decks. | * '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Manectric|11}}''' - Manectric prevented the opponent from attacking Claydol, the deck's main drawing support, with attacks such as {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}'s ''Dragon Rush''.
