Trivia
- Because of the absence of a move relearner in the first two generations, this move was nearly unobtainable, and the only possible way to obtain it in Pokémon Red and Blue was trading a wild Kadabra from other games. Even then, it is not learnable by Kadabra, since Kadabra evolves into Alakazam upon trading.
- However, one can stop Kadabra's evolution.
