Collector Insights

Alakazam is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 80 HP and a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It features the ability Damage Swap, allowing players to transfer damage counters between their Pokémon during their turn, provided the recipient isn’t Knocked Out. This ability is inactive if Alakazam is asleep, confused, or paralyzed. Alakazam’s primary attack, Confuse Ray, costs three Psychic energy and deals 30 damage while flipping a coin to potentially confuse the defending Pokémon. The card’s converted energy cost for attacks is three, matching its retreat requirement. It has a Psychic weakness with double damage, and its flavor text highlights its extraordinary intelligence, comparing it to a supercomputer with an IQ of 5000. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, this Rare Holo card from the Base set was released in 1999. Its themecolor, a muted grayish-purple, aligns with its Psychic type and mystical theme.
