Kingdra 31/147 · Burning Shadows

Burning Shadows is a set in the Sun & Moon series. It was released on August 5, 2017. The printed size is 147. This checklist is longer, at 177 cards. Kingdra is 31/147, in position 32 of 177 on this checklist. Before it is 30 Seadra, and after it is 32 Magikarp. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Kingdra is a Stage 2 Water Pokémon with 140 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).

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). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 26 other cards of Kingdra list a different HP.

The attack Brine lists no damage number. The cost is Water. This attack does 90 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Tornado Shot is another attack lists 90 damage. The cost is Water. Discard a Water Energy from this Pokémon. This attack does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Grass ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It is said that it usually hides in underwater caves. It can create whirlpools by yawning."

I keep a set binder for Burning Shadows, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Burning Shadows 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.
