Kingdra ex is a Stage 2 ex Water Pokémon with 150 HP. In the Pokédex this is Kingdra (#230), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Seadra. In this catalog that name is Seadra (#117).

Hikaru Koike illustrated this card. The same name is on 46 other cards in the catalog.

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 is named Kingdra, while this one is Kingdra ex. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 24 other cards of Kingdra list a different HP.

The attack Genetic Memory lists no damage number. The cost is Water. Use any attack from Kingdra ex's Basic Pokémon card or Stage 1 Evolution card. (Kingdra ex doesn't have to pay for that attack's Energy cost.) Hydrocannon is another attack lists 50+ damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Does 50 damage plus 20 more damage for each Water Energy attached to Kingdra ex but not used to pay for this attack's Energy cost. You can't add more than 40 damage in this way. Weakness is Grass ×2 and Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The card text says: When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

I keep a set binder for Dragon, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Dragon set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kingdra can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
