# Kingdra (刺龙王) (Chinese) #123 — CS3bC (洪荒演武 激)

## Summary

Kingdra has been a quiet favourite since Johto, where Seadra's trade-evolution trick turned a modest sea creature into a Water and Dragon hybrid that plenty of players still call underrated. Here it leaps through churning surf beside a trainer in a full-art scene of blue water and scattered autumn leaves, a character rare that sits at the top of the Simplified Chinese CS3bC release from November 2023. Mainland copies are the only way to complete the Chinese run. The modelled guide sits at $2.49 with 4 copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file.
