The longer Alakazam lives, the larger and heavier its head becomes. Our tests have shown that the strength of its psychic powers correlates positively to the weight of its head.
Legends: ArceusAlakazam wields potent psychic powers. It’s said that this Pokémon used these powers to create the spoons it holds.
ShieldIt has an incredibly high level of intelligence. Some say that Alakazam remembers everything that ever happens to it, from birth till death.
SwordIf it trusts someone deeply, it will let them have one of its spoons. Anything you eat with that spoon is apparently delicious.
Ultra MoonAlakazam uses its psychic powers to make the spoons it carries. Each spoon is an original that there’s only one of in the whole world.
Ultra SunIts brain cells continue to increase in number until its death. The older the Alakazam, the larger its head.
MoonIt is said to have an IQ of approximately 5,000. Its overflowing psychokinetic powers cause headaches to anyone nearby.
SunThe spoons clutched in its hands are said to have been created by its psychic powers.
Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2Its highly developed brain is on par with a supercomputer. It can use all forms of psychic abilities.
PearlIts superb memory lets it recall everything it has experienced from birth. Its IQ exceeds 5,000.
DiamondIts brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its IQ (intelligence quotient) is said to be around 5,000.
LeafGreen · YIt does not like physical attacks very much. Instead, it freely uses extrasensory powers to defeat foes.
FireRedWhile it has strong psychic abilities and high intelligence, an ALAKAZAM’s muscles are very weak. It uses psychic power to move its body.
EmeraldALAKAZAM’s brain continually grows, infinitely multiplying brain cells. This amazing brain gives this Pokémon an astoundingly high IQ of 5,000. It has a thorough memory of everything that has occurred in the world.
Sapphire · Alpha SapphireALAKAZAM’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.
Ruby · Omega RubyIt has an IQ of 5000. It calculates many things in order to gain the edge in every battle.
CrystalIts brain cells multiply continually until it dies. As a result, it remembers everything.
Silver · SoulSilver · XClosing both its eyes heightens all its other senses. This enables it to use its abilities to their extremes.
Gold · HeartGoldA Pokémon that can memorize anything. It never forgets what it learns-- that's why this Pokémon is smart.
Yellow · Let’s Go, Pikachu! · Let’s Go, Eevee!Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its intelligence quotient is said to be 5,000.
