Primal Clash is a set in the XY series. It was released on February 4, 2015. The printed size is 160. This checklist is longer, at 164 cards. Kingdra is 108/160, in position 108 of 164 on this checklist. Before it is 107 Kingdra, and after it is 109 Vibrava. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Kingdra is a Stage 2 Dragon Pokémon with 130 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).

hatachu illustrated this card. The same name is on 31 other cards in the catalog.

Kingdra (#230) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 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 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and hatachu illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 23 other cards of Kingdra list a different HP.

The attack Gather Strength lists no damage number. The cost is Colorless. Search your deck for up to 4 basic Energy cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. Dragon Blast is another attack lists 150 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Lightning. Discard a Water Energy and a Lightning Energy attached to this Pokémon. Weakness is Fairy ×2. Retreat cost is 1. α Growth is the ancient trait on this card. When you attach an Energy card from your hand to this Pokémon (except with an attack, Ability, or Trainer card), you may attach 2 Energy cards. The flavor text reads "It stores energy by sleeping at underwater depths at which no other life-forms can survive."

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