:::::I’m guessing he’s referring to Kadabra. It’s ability to bend spoons was similar to the famous psychic Uri Geller, who sued the Pokémon Company in 2000 for using his likeness in what he claimed was a parody.

Its prominent blond fur can easily pass for a dective's cap, with the brown fur along the side of its body being a trenchcoat. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 00:43, 2 August 2016 (UTC) | |||
