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

It was released on March 19, 2021. The printed size is 163. This checklist is longer, at 183 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Deep Sea King is listed as Ability. When your Active Pokémon is Knocked Out by damage from an attack from your opponent's Pokémon, you may move any amount of Water Energy from that Pokémon to this Pokémon. The attack Aqua Burst lists 40× damage. The cost is Water. This attack does 40 damage for each Water Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

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 150 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 24 other cards of Kingdra list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Battle Styles set binder is where a full Battle Styles 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.
