Alakazam (Japanese: フーディン Foodin) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon. It evolves from Kadabra when it is traded.

Biology

Physiology

Alakazam is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears on the top of either side of its head, and two somewhat sinister looking eyes in the middle of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the two sides of the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown colored pauldron-shaped sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Following this, there is a normal section of its regular yellow-hued skin that leads to a brown vambrace-shaped section followed by Alakazam's yellow hands. Each of which have three fingers, and are noticeably missing the claws it had on each of them in its pre-evolved form. Its torso consists of a brown colored section of body similar to a fauld and a yellow-colored crotch area. Its upper leg is yellow and connects to another brown colored poleyn type section followed by its somewhat large foot. Its foot consists of three toes, two toes in the front and one near the ankle of the foot, that each have one large white colored claw attached to it.

Gender differences

A female has a shorter moustache.

Special abilities

It is said that Alakazam is known to have mastered every type and form of psychic ability, including, telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, psionic abilities, levitation, defensive techniques, mind control, and telekinetic blasts. It can remember everything, and has an I.Q. of 5,000.

Alakazam, and its pre-evolution, Kadabra, are the only known Pokémon that learn Kinesis.

Behavior

Each Alakazam carries two spoons everywhere it goes. These spoons are said to increase this Pokémon's psychic ability greatly. It is also a known fact that Alakazam's IQ is around 5000, and are considered to be the second most intelligent Pokémon. It is also said that they have excellent memory, and can remember everything from the moment they were born.

Habitat

Alakazam live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair.

Trivia

• Alakazam weighs less than Kadabra. The reason could be that Alakazam lacks a tail, which Kadabra has.
• Alakazam is believed to be the second smartest Pokémon, after Uxie.
• Although somewhat hard to see, Alakazam had the Star of David on its forehead in its Pokémon Red and Green frontal sprite.
• Althought it doesn't have a tail, Alakazam is able to learn the move Iron Tail in Generations III and IV.
• Gastly, Haunter and Gengar are counterparts of Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam , all sharing very high special attack and speed statuses and the ability to use Psychic-type moves.

Origin

Alakazam's spoons are a reference to the magician Uri Geller, who claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind. See the article on Kadabra for more information. Like Abra and Kadabra, Alakazam shares physical traits with foxes.

Name origin

Alakazam's name is another incantation used in stage magic, similar to Abracadabra. Its Japanese name can be spelled Houdin, and is probably a reference to Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin or Harry Houdini, who were both famous magicians.
