Everything we know about Alakazam

Alakazam is a psychic-type Pokémon from Gen 1 who is traditionally only found by trading Kadabra with another player to activate its evolution. Pokémon Legends: Arceus references this evolution method, by having Kadabra evolve after interacting with the Linking Cord item.

The name and appearance of this Pokémon, like the other members of its evolution tree, was clearly inspired by magic and magicians. Alakazam’s spoons are a reference to spoon depending - a common trick used by magicians. (Though Uri Geller is yet to sue Nintendo over this Pokémon.)

The alakazam is also part of the traditional incantation used in stage magic - abracadabra alakazam! This means that when you put all of the names from this Pokémon species together - Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam - they recreate this incantation.

Good luck defeating Mega Alakazam in Pokémon Go!
