# Kingdra #108/160 — Primal Clash

## Summary

Kingdra is a Johto Dragon with a loyal following, and this Primal Clash printing carries the α Growth Ancient Trait, an energy-acceleration gimmick that gave it a real tournament pitch in a Stage 2-heavy format. As a plain Rare in a ex-dominated set, it draws players and Gen II fans more than chase-hunters. The modelled guide sits at $12 with 17 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
