History

As an Abra, facing Ash's Pikachu

Sabrina and Kadabra

Kadabra first appeared as an Abra in Abra and the Psychic Showdown. Sabrina used it in a Gym battle against Ash. During the battle with Ash's Pikachu, Abra evolved into a Kadabra and with its Psychic-type attacks, it eventually caused Ash to forfeit the match to save Pikachu from being hurt anymore. It was shown that Sabrina and Kadabra share a strong psychic bond.

Ash later returned for a rematch in Haunter Versus Kadabra. This time, Ash's Haunter made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years, which caused Kadabra to laugh due to the psychic bond it has with Sabrina. Due to this Sabrina decided to give the Marsh Badge to Ash.

It was seen in flashbacks in The Tower of Terror and Bad to the Bone.

Personality and characteristics

Due to the strong psychic bond between Kadabra and Sabrina, all of Kadabra's emotions completely reflected those of Sabrina, making Kadabra's own possible personality unknown.

Sabrina and her Kadabra in Pokémon Adventures

Sabrina possesses a Kadabra in the Pokémon Adventures manga, which was first seen posing as Professor Oak in his laboratory. When it began to attack Red and subsequently was tangled in Saur's vine in retaliation, its use of a Psybeam revealed that it was a Pokémon. A Leech Seed attack then unmasked it, and soon it teleported back to Sabrina's side, aiding in the siege in Saffron City against Green, who snuck there. Although Sabrina initially appeared to be daunted by her SmokeScreen (among other various tricks), Sabrina is able to get the edge easily with its psychic powers. After Green only managed to escape the opponent even Blasty couldn't take out, Kadabra and its Trainer soon caught up to her and called upon the other legendary birds, who soon merged into Thu-Fi-Zer. In following arcs, it hasn't been seen much (owing to Sabrina's minor role), but continued to be among the strongest fighters she has, despite her also possessing its evolution as well.

Sabrina and her Kadabra in Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Sabrina's Kadabra makes an appearance in The Life-or-Death Magic Duel!! of the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga.

Sabrina summoned her Kadabra from her crystal ball after Red, Clefairy and Pikachu arrived in her castle. She did so in order for it to challenge Clefairy to a magic game. Kadabra performed many tricks such as bending a spoon. As Clefairy took his turn to perform some tricks, he had Kadabra light up the magical box when Clefairy went inside. However, the box accidentally lit up the dynamite that was attached to it. Much to the surprise of Kadabra and the others, the dynamite exploded and it blew up the whole castle.
