Alakazam

The longer Alakazam lives, the larger and heavier its head becomes. Our tests have shown that the strength of its psychic powers correlates positively to the weight of its head.

Q&A

Bug (×2), Ghost (×2), Dark (×2). Resists Fighting, Psychic. Calculated from the gen 3 type chart (FireRed/LeafGreen).

Abra evolves into Kadabra starting at level 16. Kadabra evolves into Alakazam via trade.

Not in the wild. Alakazam cannot be caught in the wild in FireRed/LeafGreen — you only get it through evolution: Kadabra evolves into Alakazam via trade.

Our take: Yes, if you can trade. Alakazam is one of Kanto's best special sweepers — Abra is catchable early and the trade evolution turns it into a monster. Extremely frail.
