Seadra (Japanese: シードラ Seadra) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Horsea starting at level 32 and evolves into Kingdra when traded while holding a Dragon Scale.
Biology
Seadra is a light blue, seahorse-like Pokémon with a cream-colored belly covered in rough scales. It has a long, tubular mouth, narrow, black eyes, a fin-like ridge above each eye, and spiny pectoral fins. It also has a large, coiled tail. It has a pair of dorsal fins with sharp, cream-colored tips that exude venom. Seadra's venom is toxic enough to induce numbness and even fainting in humans, but it is still prized among practitioners of traditional medicine.
Seadra can swim in any direction while facing forward by rapidly flapping its fins and tail. It catches its prey by spinning its body to cause large whirlpools. When its prey is exhausted, Seadra swallows it whole using its long snout. Seadra makes its nest by either wriggling between or anchoring itself to branches of coral under the ocean. After a female Seadra gives birth, the male Seadra will take care of the young. It is markedly vicious and will mercilessly attack those who venture near its nest. During this time, the male's venom also becomes thicker and stronger than usual.

Silver had a Seadra as a part of his team which she evolved from Horsea sometime after The Legend where she was given back to him by Green, although she was not shown at the time.

Trivia
- Seadra's EV Yield (1 Defense, 1 Sp. Atk) is unique.
- Seadra's Gold and HeartGold Pokédex entries likely refer to the real-world theory of evolution.
- Seadra and its evolutionary relatives share their category with Dratini and its evolved forms, Salamence, and Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
- Seadra is the only Pokémon that may have the Poison Point Ability without being a Poison-type itself.
Origin
Seadra seems to be based on a seahorse. Its category may be a reference to the Japanese word for seahorse, tatsu-no-otoshigo (dragon's child), which is derived from the fake history that a seahorse that lives for a century will transform into a dragon. Its spiky, poisonous fins are reminiscent of a lionfish, its ability to shoot ink is reminiscent of a squid, and the shape of its snout and Sniper Ability are reminiscent of a water gun.
Name origin
Seadra may be a combination of seahorse and dragon or hydra (a fake sea creature).
