Collector Insights

Abra is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 30 HP, featuring a single attack named Psyshock. This attack costs one Psychic Energy and deals 10 damage, allowing the player to flip a coin to potentially Paralyze the Defending Pokémon if it lands heads. The card is part of the Base set, released in January 1999, and is numbered 43 in the series. Its flavor text describes a Pokémon capable of detecting danger through mental abilities and evading threats by teleportation. Abra has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s artist is Mitsuhiro Arita, and it carries a Common rarity designation. Its thematic color, a warm beige tone, aligns with the Psychic type’s association with intangible mental forces.

Using its ability to read minds, it will identify impending danger and teleport to safety.
