$4,257Alakazam is extremely fast and special-heavy in Gen I, and Psychic has very few practical counters.Use strong physical attackers, paralysis, sleep, or fast Bug/Ghost-adjacent plans carefully. In Gen I, Ghost moves do not work correctly against Psychic, so do not rely on that matchup.

Completion Checklist

  • Clear or route around gym trainers.
  • Reach Sabrina via warp pads.
  • Defeat Sabrina for TM46 Psywave.
  • Verify the wild table's version splits before leaving if you are filling the Pokedex.
