Alakazam

Description
Alakazam is a Psychic type pokémon. It evolves by trading a Kadabra, and is the final evolution of Abra. Like its pre-evolutions, Alakazam looks like it is wearing armour. Its mustache has also grown and it now wields two spoons, which may show the mastery of its psychic powers. Its brain cells multiply continually until it dies. As a result, it remembers everything. Closing both its eyes heightens all its other senses. This enables it to use its abilities to their extremes. Its highly developed brain is on par with a supercomputer. It can use all forms of psychic abilities. Its superb memory lets it recall everything it has experienced from birth. Its IQ exceeds 5,000.

Strategy
Alakazam has a really high special attack. It can be really strong with moves like Psychic. However, if an attacking move is used on Alakazam, it will faint really fast. So, you should make sure that it doesn't get hit. You could put a bulky pokemon like Snorlax or Golem first, to take the hits for it. You could also use substitute, so it can take some hits. However, this means you have to use it really often. Alakazams strongest non-stab move is Hyper Beam, but Tri Attack can also be useful. Metronome could also be used, but it's a luck move.

Alakazam doesn't really have a good movepool, but if new TM's would be released, it can learn some good moves.
