Collector Insights

Dark Alakazam is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Teleport Blast, which costs two Psychic and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage and allows switching with a Benched Pokémon, and Mind Shock, which costs three Psychic energy to deal 40 damage while ignoring Weakness and Resistance. The card’s flavor text suggests an enigmatic presence, noting its unchanging expressions during battles. It has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks multiplied by two. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, the card belongs to the Base series and was released in the Team Rocket set on April 24, 2000. Its rarity is Rare, and it is numbered 18 in the set. The card’s color scheme aligns with a themecolor of #ba9190, reflecting its Psychic typing.

Almost as if it were being controlled by something else, it never changes expressions, even in the middle of battle.
