Alakazam is a powerful psychic Pokémon that was introduced in the first generation games as the final stage of Abra's evolutionary line.

Information

Alakazam evolves from Kadabra when traded to another trainer. It is known primarily for its intelligence. Alakazam is said to be able outperform a super-computer and have an IQ of around 5,000. Its brain cells multiply until its death, which allows it to memorize everything and to remember all past memories since birth. Because its brain continuously grows larger, its head becomes too heavy for its neck to support, so it has to use its psychokinetic powers to hold up its head.

Its senses are heightened even more when its eyes are closed, allowing it to use its abilities to their extremes. Alakazam does not like using physical attacks as its muscles are actually very weak. Because of this, they depend on their psychic abilities for everything, even for just moving their bodies. Even the spoons that they dual wield are said to be formed by their psychic powers.
