i've played kingdra for quite a while and ive found that no techs is the best way to go, just play 4-2-4 kingdra and 2-2 claydol, and 2 unknown g, that should be enough, i play 14 energies, i would reccomend playing 3 or 4 roseannes research to get the energies, also play 4 pokedrawer+, it helps...
