Pokédex Entry

Dragon Pokémon

It stores energy by sleeping at underwater depths at which no other life forms can survive. Kingdra is a Water/Dragon Pokemon so it only has a Fairy (and Dragon) as a weakness. If you get one with the Swift Swim ability and use it in rain will speed it up from its base speed of 85. All of its stats are a pretty even spread. Use Sniper as the ability & Focus Energy to boost the chance of a critical hits! The even values between Attack and Special Attack mean you can use Kingdra for either physical or special movesets!
