Its stats are even — none is prominent enough to give it a single team role. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. On defense it has 2 weaknesses and 3 resistances.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Def.
Attack and Defense share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.
Which nature to choose
Attack (95) and Sp. Atk (95) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.
- Hasty +Spe · −Def A mixed set that does not intend to take any hits: all that matters is striking first.
- Lonely +Atk · −Def The same price, but the boost goes into the stronger of the two offensive stats.
- Swift Swim doubles Speed in rain. Calculate Speed benchmarks with the ability active — it may change the point of a +Spe or −Spe nature.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it
Data from 44,274 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 UU, 2026-07). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 UU is one tier lower: it is played without the Pokémon most often used in OU, so the same species hold completely different places here.
Rank 123 among 274 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.34% of teams.
Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.
Pokédex entry
It is said that it usually hides in underwater caves. It can create whirlpools by yawning.
Resistances and weaknesses
Type chart →How much damage Kingdra takes when it is hit by a move of each type. The multipliers of both its types are already combined here.
How it was drawn
1999–2019The sprites come straight from the games in which Kingdra appeared — one from each release.
Variant gallery
The gallery shows only the appearance variants that exist for this Pokémon. Every image shows the same character and differs in source — a Pokémon HOME render or a pixel sprite — and in coloring, regular or shiny.
TCG cards (19)
All Kingdra cards →Kingdra has 19 cards in 15 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 172 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
