Its Ability

Crystal Type

Whenever you attach a Water, Lightning, or Psychic basic Energy card from your hand to Kingdra, Kingdra's type (color) becomes the same as that Energy card type until the end of the turn.

Its attacks

Aquabomb

40

Kindra does 10 damage to itself. (Don't apply Weakness or Resistance when Kingdra damages itself with this attack.)

Dual Burn

60

Flip 2 coins. For each tails, discard 1 Energy card attached to Kingdra.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    110 HP. Only 3 cards in Aquapolis carry more.

  2. A strength

    Dual Burn hits for 60 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Aquapolis hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

    It has an Ability, Crystal Type. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  4. Keep in mind

    Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,868 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  6. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Seadra to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  7. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,868 tournament lists we have read, 413 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

When it came out

Aquapolis landed here on 15 January 2003.
