Kingdra 19/64 · Neo Revelation

Neo Revelation is a set in the Neo series. It was released on September 21, 2001. The printed size is 64. This checklist is longer, at 66 cards. Kingdra is 19/64, in position 19 of 66 on this checklist. Before it is 18 Ho-oh, and after it is 20 Lugia. The listed rarity is Rare.

Kingdra is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 49. 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).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 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). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Kingdra list a different HP.

The attack Genetic Memory lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Use any attack from Kingdra's Basic Pokémon card or Evolution card. (Kingdra doesn't have to pay for that attack's Energy cost.) Twister is another attack lists 50 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 2 coins. For each heads, choose 1 Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon, if any, and discard it. If both are tails, this attack does nothing (not even damage). Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It sleeps deep on the ocean floor to build its energy. It is said to cause tornadoes as it wakes."

I keep a set binder for Neo Revelation, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Neo Revelation set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kingdra can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
