Its Ability

Water Cyclone

As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a Water Energy card from your Active Pokémon to 1 of your Benched Pokémon. This power can't be used if Kingdra is affected by a Special Condition.

Its attacks

Rapids

50

Flip a coin. If heads, discard 1 Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon, if any.

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

    120 HP, and nothing in Aquapolis goes higher. That is the wall your opponent has to break through before taking a Prize.

  2. A strength

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

  3. 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.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Lightning ×2. Against a Lightning Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 336 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.
