Kingdra 84/116 · Plasma Freeze

Kingdra is Pokédex #230, generation 2 (Johto). Kingdra is a Stage 2 Dragon Pokémon with 140 HP. The card says it evolves from Seadra. In this catalog that name is Seadra (#117).

Kingdra sits at 84/116 in Plasma Freeze, position 84 of 122. Before it is 83 Dragonite, and after it is 85 Latias-EX. The set belongs to the Black & White series. It was released on May 8, 2013. The printed size is 116. This checklist is longer, at 122 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

The attack Dragon Vortex lists 20× damage. The cost is Colorless. Does 20 damage times the number of Water Energy cards and Lightning Energy cards in your discard pile. Then, shuffle all of those cards back into your deck. Tri Bullet is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Water. This attack does 30 damage to 3 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Dragon ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It lives in caves on the seafloor and creates giant whirlpools every time it moves."

Kingdra (#230) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2024. The earliest other card is Kingdra 8/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Naoyo Kimura illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 26 other cards of Kingdra list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoyo Kimura. I count 256 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Freeze set binder is where a full Plasma Freeze set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kingdra can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
