Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue
Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its intelligence quotient is said to be 5,000.
Pokémon Yellow
A Pokémon that can memorize anything. It never forgets what it learns-that's why this Pokémon is smart.
Pokémon Gold
Closing both its eyes heightens all its other senses. This enables it to use its abilities to their extremes.
Pokémon Silver
Its brain cells multiply continually until it dies. As a result, it remembers everything.
Pokémon Crystal
It has an IQ of 5000. It calculates many things in order to gain the edge in every battle.
Pokémon Ruby
Alakazam's brain continually grows, making its head far too heavy to support with its neck. This Pokémon holds its head up using its psychokinetic power instead.
Pokémon Sapphire

Pokémon Emerald
While it has strong psychic abilities and high intelligence, an Alakazam's muscles are very weak. It uses psychic power to move its body.
Pokémon FireRed
It does not like physical attacks very much. Instead, it freely uses extra-sensory powers to defeat foes.
Pokémon LeafGreen
Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its IQ (intelligence quotient) is said to be around 5,000.

Name origin

Alakazam's name is part of an incantation used in stage magic, Abracadabra, (which comes from the ancient words for "Father, Son and Holy Ghost",) Alakazam. Its Japanese name can be spelled Houdin, and is probably a reference to Harry Houdini, a famous magician and escapologist.

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.
