Abra Yellow sprite Abra Lv. 50 Kadabra Yellow sprite Kadabra Lv. 50 Alakazam Yellow sprite Alakazam Lv. 50
$4,950Alakazam 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.
