CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Seadra anchors itself to reefs with its tail while sleeping so that currents do not sweep it away. When awake, it can spin its body to create whirlpools that weaken prey before it sucks them in. Its dorsal spines carry venom dangerous to anyone who approaches carelessly. In males raising young, this venom becomes even stronger. The Pokédex thus connects its hold on the coral, its hunting and the protection of its family.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Sword notes that the venom in a male Seadra's dorsal spines grows stronger while it raises young. Pokémon Alpha Sapphire describes the whirlpools it creates to catch prey. The same body therefore serves to feed and protect a new generation.
