'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]{{sup/8|LA}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].


From [[Generation IV]] onward, holding an [[Everstone]] will not prevent Kadabra from evolving when traded.
(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
Kadabra is a primarily yellow, slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has two long, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, narrow, deep-set eyes, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur; a male will have a longer mustache than a female. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Two of its toes face forward and one backward. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. A gold spoon does not work as an amplifier and Kadabra is only half as strong without a spoon.

Kadabra emits alpha waves strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backwards, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. By closing its eyes, it can double the number of alpha particles it emits. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a pillow. It can store up psychic energy inside its star in preparation for its evolution. There is a theory that Kadabra was born from a transformed human child who could not control his powers. Kadabra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Localization-specific information|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kadabra was originally known as "Pocus".
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Red and Green beta|Localization-specific information|Pokémon Red and Blue beta}}, Kadabra was originally known as "Pocus".
* [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] says that Kadabra's [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Red and Green|s}} is a reference to an in-universe novel "Transformation" that won the second Pokémon Literary Award.
* [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] says that Kadabra's [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Red and Green|s}} is a reference to an in-universe novel "Transformation" that won the second Pokémon Literary Award.
* Kadabra has not been printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the English {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion in 2003. This may be the result of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire to avoid further litigation from {{DL|Pokémon controversy|Uri Geller}} regarding his claim that Kadabra is a parody of him. However, on November 28, 2020, Geller [https://twitter.com/TheUriGeller/status/1332794451727691777 released an apology on Twitter], announcing that he would allow Nintendo to print cards featuring Kadabra again.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a {{DL|List of glitches (Generation II)|Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug}} causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Sunflora}}.
** Due to the now-lifted limitation, Kadabra is also the only {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} that can be skipped by its {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic evolution}}, introduced with a particular [[Abra (Mysterious Treasures 69)|Abra card]] able to evolve itself directly into {{TCG|Alakazam}}.
* If a Kadabra holds an [[Everstone]] from [[Generation III]] onwards while traded, the Everstone will not take effect and the Kadabra will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}. While it shares this trait with {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Haunter}} in Generation III due to a glitch, Kadabra keeps this trait in [[Generation IV]] onwards while the other three do not.
** For possibly the same reason, Kadabra has not made any anime appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' aired in the United States in 2006, except a small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice]]''.
 
*** Kadabra finally made media reappearance in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', its first animated appearance in over 16 years, excluding its cameo in the aforementioned movie.
===Controversy===
** When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met [[Mira]] in the anime, she was seen using an Abra, whereas she has a Kadabra in the {{pkmn|games}}. The other [[Stat Trainers]] in the anime own the same Pokémon as they do in the games.
{{main|Pokémon controversy#Uri Geller|Pokémon controversy → Uri Geller}}
** Kadabra also did not appear in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, whereas Abra and Alakazam did.
For 20 years, Kadabra was not printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the English {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion in 2003. This was likely the result of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire to avoid further litigation from illusionist {{wp|Uri Geller}}, who claimed that Kadabra is a parody of him and attempted to sue Nintendo over the notion. However, on November 28, 2020, Geller [https://twitter.com/TheUriGeller/status/1332794451727691777 released an apology on Twitter], announcing that he would allow Nintendo to print cards featuring Kadabra again. The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card released since Uri Geller's dismissal of his lawsuit is included in the Japanese {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset, released on June 16, 2023; and the English {{TCG|151}} expansion, released on September 22, 2023.
* From [[Generation IV]] onward, the [[Everstone]] fails to prevent Kadabra from evolving by [[trade]].
 
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches (Generation II)#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Sunflora}}.
Due to the now-lifted limitation, Kadabra is the only {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} that can be skipped by its {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic evolution}}, introduced with a particular {{OBP|Abra|Mysterious Treasures 69|Abra card}} able to evolve itself directly into {{TCG|Alakazam}}.
 
For possibly the same reason, Kadabra had not made any {{pkmn|anime}} appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' aired in the United States in 2006, except a small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice]]''. Kadabra finally made its media reappearance in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', its first animated appearance in over 16 years, excluding its cameo in the aforementioned movie. Notably, when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met [[Mira]] in the anime, she was seen using an Abra instead of a Kadabra as she does in the {{pkmn|games}}, despite the fact that the other [[Stat Trainers]] in the anime own the same Pokémon as they do in the games.
 
Kadabra also did not appear in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, whereas Abra and Alakazam did.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Kadabra appears to be based on {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magicians}} and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon benders}}. It also shares similarities with {{wp|fox}}es, animals mythologically tied to magic. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to {{wp|Zener cards}}, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for {{wp|extrasensory perception}} and {{wp|clairvoyance}} in the early 1930s. The "Transformation" novel about Kadabra may be based on {{wp|Franz Kafka}}'s ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}''.
Kadabra appears to be based on {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magicians}} and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon benders}}. It also shares similarities with {{wp|fox}}es, animals mythologically tied to magic. Its mustache-like tufts of fur may be an exaggeration of a fox's whiskers. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to {{wp|Zener cards}}, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for {{wp|extrasensory perception}} and {{wp|clairvoyance}} in the early 1930s. As it created its spoon with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practise of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesise metals with magic. The "Transformation" novel about Kadabra may be based on {{wp|Franz Kafka}}'s ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}''.
