Abra (Japanese: ケーシィ Casey) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Kadabra starting at level 16, which evolves into Alakazam when traded.

Biology

Abra is a bipedal Pokémon that is primarily yellow. Its face is kite-shaped with a small, pale yellow snout and two short, pointed ears with pale yellow interiors. Its wide eyes are normally closed. Abra's body is segmented with black skin is visible between its joints and along its neck. It has two brown, pauldron-shaped extensions on its shoulders, as well as a brown, fauld-like piece around its chest. It has three digits on each hand and foot, but its fingers considerably shorter than its toes. Two of its toes face forward and one faces backward. Its tail is thick and long, with a brown band located near the tip.

Abra can sense danger through a telepathic radar. When it does, it teleports to a safe location. However, it sometimes becomes panicked if it wakes in an unknown location. By hypnotizing itself, Abra is able to teleport itself even while sleeping. It can use other extrasensory abilities while sleeping as well and can even teleport into the treetops to pick and eat berries. Due to the strain of its telepathic powers, however, Abra sleeps 18 hours each day. If it fails to rest long enough, it will become unable to use its powers. Abra lives in urban areas, but has been observed to teleport to a different location once per hour. If it teleports randomly, it can create illusory copies.

Trivia

Origin

Abra may be based on a mystic or psychic. It also has similarities to goats and foxes, both animals with ties to magic. Given the rat-like tail of its early sprites and the fact that it sleeps 18 hours a day, Abra could also draw inspiration from opossums. It also shares traits with cats, both because of its feline appearance and the fact that it sleeps for most of the day.

Name origin

Abra is derived from Abracadabra, an incantation used in stage magic. It may also be derive from cabra (Spanish for goat).

Casey is derived from Edgar Cayce, a purported psychic famous for entering self-induced trances. This may relate to Abra's tendency to hypnotize itself to sleep.
