The card prints 2 attacks. The strongest asks for 1 Energy and returns 20 damage, which is 20 damage for every Energy card attached.

Kingdra 84 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Dragon Vortex	1 Colorless	1	20×	20	Does 20 damage times the number of Water Energy cards and Lightning Energy cards in your discard pile. Then, shuffle all of those cards back into your deck.
Tri Bullet	1 Water	1	—	—	This attack does 30 damage to 3 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Retreating costs a further 1 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

What each attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Dragon Vortex 1 Energy20 damage for 1 Energy — 20 per Energy card20

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (20).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Dragon Vortex is printed as 20×, so the printed number is multiplied — the attack deals that much for each thing the sentence beside it counts.

Back to summary

Is Kingdra 84 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 20 damage attack that needs 1 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

What does being a Dragon card do for Kingdra 84?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

Deals double to this card 530 Dragon cards carry that type A Dragon attack printed at 70 damage is enough to remove this card in one turn.

What knocks out Kingdra 84 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Weakness doubles the damage a Dragon attack deals to this card, so the bar it has to clear is 70 printed damage rather than 140.

Of the 336 cards in the archive that can remove Kingdra 84 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 70 printed damage against a bar of 70. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Kingdra as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Kingdra 84 is one print of Kingdra. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Kingdra has been printed 30 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

What has to be in play before Kingdra 84 can be?

Kingdra evolves from Seadra, so the whole line has to be built before this card reaches the field.

This card cannot be played from your hand onto an empty spot — it goes on top of Seadra.
The line runs 3 stages, so the first card has to be in play 2 turns before this one can be.
Every print in the line shares Pokédex number 230.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (150 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Kingdra print, and can the older ones still be played?

30 prints carry this name in the archive, and 28 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (310 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Kingdra 84 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Dragon Vortex, needs 1 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 1 turn from an empty card.
That works out at 20 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 1 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Seadra has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Stage 2 cardsNo. 861 of 1,749

Plasma FreezeNo. 16 of 108

What actually removes it

A Dragon attack printed at 70 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 140 HP.
336 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 3 cards in one attack.

Kingdra 84 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Kingdra 84?

Kingdra 84 has 140 HP and a Dragon weakness at ×2, so a Dragon attack printed at 70 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 140.

What is the strongest attack on Kingdra 84?

Dragon Vortex, printed at 20 damage for 1 Energy — 20 damage per Energy card. Does 20 damage times the number of Water Energy cards and Lightning Energy cards in your discard pile. Then, shuffle all of those cards back into your deck.

What is the retreat cost of Kingdra 84?

1 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the × after the damage on Dragon Vortex mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is dealt once for each thing the sentence on the card counts. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "Does 20 damage times the number of Water Energy cards and Lightning Energy cards in your discard pile. Then, shuffle all of those cards back into your deck."

Can an older Kingdra print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 28 prints listed on this page, 5 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Kingdra evolve from?

Seadra. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Kingdra 84 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited and Expanded play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Kingdra 84 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
