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.

  • Hydro Pump 2 Energy50 damage for 2 Energy — 25 per Energy card50

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (50).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

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

  • Hydro Pump is printed as 50+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

How does Kingdra ex 131 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

Is Kingdra ex 131 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 50 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Back to summary

Is Kingdra ex 131 strong for a ex card?

ex cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

What does being a Water card do for Kingdra ex 131?

Of the 164 cards in the archive that can remove Kingdra ex 131 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 160 printed damage against a bar of 155. 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 ex 131 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.

What has to be in play before Kingdra ex 131 can be?

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

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.

8,194 cards in the archive carry a regulation mark. Older prints carry none at all, so this is not the whole archive.

The regulation mark is the single letter recorded with each modern card. Older prints carry no mark at all, so this axis covers only the part of the archive that has one.

Kingdra ex 131 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, Hydro Pump, needs 2 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 2 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 25 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

Every card in the archiveNo. 343 of 17,290
Water cardsNo. 56 of 2,435
ex cardsNo. 186 of 942
Scarlet & Violet Black Star PromosNo. 12 of 161

What actually removes it

  • A Lightning attack printed at 155 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 310 HP.
  • 164 cards in the archive clear that bar.
  • Going the other way, it removes 958 cards in one attack.

Kingdra ex 131 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Kingdra ex 131?

Kingdra ex 131 has 310 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 155 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 310.

What is the strongest attack on Kingdra ex 131?

Hydro Pump, printed at 50 damage for 2 Energy — 25 damage per Energy card. This attack does 50 more damage for each Water Energy attached to this Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Kingdra ex 131?

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 Hydro Pump mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "This attack does 50 more damage for each Water Energy attached to this Pokémon."

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 ex 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 ex 131 be played in a tournament?

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

What does the rule on Kingdra ex 131 mean?

The card reads “Pokémon ex rule: When your Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.” That sentence is printed on the card itself, so it applies wherever the card is played.

Does this page say how good Kingdra ex 131 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.
