Strategy & play
How Alakazam plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Its main attack (Psychic Guard) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Psychic type, weak to Psychic ×2 — a Psychic attacker doing ≥50 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Kadabra first).
- Seen in 6% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 3 copies.
How to beat Alakazam
- Exploit its Psychic weakness — ≥50 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

About this card
"Its superb memory lets it recall everything it has experienced from birth. Its IQ exceeds 5,000."
Poké-Power: Power Cancel
Once during your opponent's turn, when your opponent's Pokémon uses any Poké-Power, you may discard 2 cards from your hand and prevent all effects of that Poké-Power. (This counts as that Pokémon using its Poké-Power.) This power can't be used if Alakazam is affected by a Special Condition.
PPCPsychic Guard — 50
During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Alakazam by attacks from your opponent's Stage 2 Evolved Pokémon is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Weakness:P+30
Retreat cost:C

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Alakazam is real?
Alakazam is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
