Strategy & play

How Alakazam ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Dimensional Hand) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
  • Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
  • Needs Psychic Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Psychic type, weak to Darkness ×2 — a Darkness attacker doing ≥155 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
  • A Stage 2 — without Rare Candy you lose ~2 turns setting it up, and it’s gust-bait before it’s online (you must draw Kadabra first).

How to beat Alakazam ex

  • Exploit its Darkness weakness — ≥155 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Alakazam ex is real?
