Trivia

  • "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
  • Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Other examples would include Porygon to Porygon2 and Gloom to Bellossom.

Origin

Kadabra is based on a magician or someone who purports to bend spoons psychically, such as Uri Geller. It also has similarities to foxes.

Name origin

Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in stage magic, Abracadabra. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician Uri Geller, replacing the ri character with the visually similar n character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon. Geller attempted to make a case against Nintendo of America for using his likeness in a character and lost.
