WHICH IS WHICH?! | Pokemon Facts #65 - Alakazam

 WAIT, IS THIS ALAKAZAM, GENGAR OR MACHAMP?!

  • Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to Machamp. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by trading, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the Special Attack stat, while Machamp excels at Attack. They are both in all regional Pokédexes (excluding the Unova dex). Their evolutionary families are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in Oreburgh City will trade her Abra for a Machop. 
    • Alakazam could also be seen as a counterpart to Gengar.  They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, which  can only be achieved by trading, both have Mega Evolutions, Gengar is  weak against Psychic moves and Alakazam is weak against Ghost moves, so  they are weak and at the same time strong against each other. They have  the same length, and both get smaller when they Mega Evolve. Their base  friendship is also the same, with 70. In The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis,  there are a Gengar and an Alakazam put against each other. Since  Generation VI, they both have a Base stat total of 500. Both are weak to  Dark-type Pokémon. They also have the same stat structure throughout  their evolutions, always having high Speed and Special Attack, and being  very low in Physical Defense and still relatively low in Special  Defense, HP, and Physical Attack.


  • In Generation VI, Alakazam is the only Pokémon whose base stat total does not increase by exactly 100 points upon Mega Evolution, instead gaining only 90 points overall. However, Mega Alakazam received another 10 points in Generation VII, making it the only alternate form Pokémon to receive a boost to its base stats. JUSTICE! :))


  • Alakazam has the lowest average Performance of any fully-evolved Pokémon.


  • In Red and Blue, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a Gastly.

Thank you for this awesome post. I remember that when you owned the first game it games you had to go through quite a proces to get this Pokémon. Do you remember? When you had kadabra you required to use the special USB cable to link two game its together. After you had done so you could trade it with any random Pokémon with your friend. And after it reached your friends game it would immediately evolve into the awesome psychic Pokémon that is alakazam. And then of course you had to persuade your friend to actually return it to you haha. Have fun out there and good luck with your future posts!
