'''Alakazam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーディン''' ''Foodin'') is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kadabra}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Abra}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Alakazam is characterized by its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|human-like structure}} and its large mustache (which is less prominent in females - see below). It has grown slightly since evolving from {{p|Kadabra}} and has become much lankier. Alakazam now has brown sections over its forearms and knees. It has lost the {{wp|Zener cards|Zener markings}} and the tail it had as a Kadabra. Its head (and more importantly, its brain) has become much larger, giving it extremely powerful mental powers. It is bipedal with three toes on each foot, each of which has a white claw. It wields a silver spoon in each hand, each of which acts as an amplifier for its special abilities.

====Gender differences====
A female has a significantly shorter mustache.

===Special abilities===
It is said that Alakazam is known to have mastered every type and form of psychic ability, including, but not limited to: telekinesis, telepathy, ESP, psionic abilities, levitation, defensive techniques, mind control, and telekinetic blasts. Alakazam are said to have excellent memory and can {{wp|Eidetic memory|remember everything that it has experienced}} since hatching as an {{p|Abra}}, and has an IQ that exceeds 5,000, making it the most intelligent non-legendary Pokémon. Upon possessing amazing psychic skills and knowledge, Alakazam is proficient with the use of the elemental punches, giving it the ability to cause serious damage to any foe that resist its psychic moves. Although Alakazam is quite fragile and prefers to use its psychic abilities for movement and battle, it is quite capable of learning a broad range of fighting moves. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Alakazam is capable of using the moves {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. 

Alakazam, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}} and the only known Pokémon to learn {{m|Ally Switch}} without the aid of a [[TM]].

===Behavior===
Each Alakazam carries two spoons everywhere it goes. These spoons are said to increase this Pokémon's psychic ability greatly.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Alakazam live in urban areas, close to humans. They are mostly found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. Its home range is the same as {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Kadabra}}.

==Trivia==
* Alakazam weighs less than its pre-evolution, {{p|Kadabra}}. Its Pokédex entries offer a possible explanation as to why this is: Alakazam's brain increases in size upon evolution so that it has to move its body using psychic energy, which would cause its muscles to weaken and atrophy because it never uses them. This could also be due to {{p|Kadabra}} having a large tail and Alakazam not.
* Although it doesn't have a tail, Alakazam is able to learn the move {{m|Iron Tail}}, possibly due to its pre-evolutions having tails.
* Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, they reach their final stage by [[trading]], and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. They are both in all regional Pokédexes (excluding the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova dex]]). Their evolutionary families are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in [[Oreburgh City]] will trade her Abra for a Machop.
* Despite being said to have weak muscles (as well as a low {{stat|Attack|Attack stat}}), Alakazam has been seen using physical attacks, such as {{m|Focus Punch|punching}}, many times in the anime, [[Anime physics|usually to great effect]].
* Alakazam has the lowest average [[Performance]] of any fully-evolved Pokémon, and third lowest overall, only beaten by {{p|Gulpin}} (second) and {{p|Feebas}} (first).
* In {{2v|Red|Blue}}, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a {{p|Gastly}}.
* In {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Alakazam is the same height as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Alakazam is based on a magician and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Alakazam is an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, similar to ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. 

Foodin can be spelled ''Houdin'' and is probably a reference to {{wp|Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin}} or {{wp|Harry Houdini}}, who were both famous magicians, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on famous mystics.
