Collector Insights
Alakazam is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. It originates from the Expedition Base Set, released in September 2002, and is depicted as a Rare Holo card. The card includes a Poké-Power ability called Psymimic, allowing Alakazam to copy one of the opponent’s Pokémon’s attacks during its turn, including Energy costs and other requirements, provided the copied attack is not restricted by Special Conditions. Its primary attack, Syncroblast, costs one Psychic and two Colorless Energy, dealing 80 damage, but reduces to 20 if Alakazam and the defending Pokémon have differing numbers of attached Energy cards. Alakazam has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks multiplied by two. The card’s artwork is attributed to artist Hajime Kusajima, and its theme color aligns with the Psychic type’s association. This card emphasizes Alakazam’s strategic versatility through its ability to mimic attacks, enhancing its adaptability in gameplay.
