Seadra

Seadra on WOTC cards: Fossil and Misty's Seadra

Seadra's first English card was Fossil #42 (October 1999), an Uncommon illustrated by Ken Sugimori, whose art was reused in Legendary Collection. Gym Heroes (2000) followed with Misty's Seadra, a holo rare drawn by Atsuko Nishida and part of the Gym Leader cards tied to Misty's Water-type gym. Neo Genesis and Aquapolis added new Uncommons, the Aquapolis one by Mitsuhiro Arita.

Seadra in the EX era: Dragon and three Delta Species cards

The EX era printed more Seadra cards than any other era. The 2003 set Dragon included two different Seadra Uncommons, and Team Rocket Returns (2004) added another. Delta Species cards, which print a Pokémon in a type other than its usual one, gave Seadra three versions: a Fire type Seadra δ in Holon Phantoms (2006) and two Fighting type Seadra δ in Dragon Frontiers later that year, one of them a Rare by Sachiko Adachi.

Since then Seadra has been a steady Uncommon, with cards in sets such as Legends Awakened, Unleashed, Plasma Freeze, Dragon Majesty, Lost Origin and Scarlet & Violet's 151, and Commons in Paradox Rift and Shrouded Fable.
