Alakazam's dirty trick!
 
I'm training an Alakazam which kinda looks like this...

-Alakazamlv.100
Modest Nature
EV's: Sp.atk=252 Speed=252 The Rest for HP
-Synchronize
-Flame Orb

-Psychic
-Shadow Ball
-Focus Blast
-Trick

Do you think its decent or crappy? Sorry im not following the right format, I'm in a rush while typing this...

Um, if anything with guys dares switch in, you're toast. That's why you normally run this with choice specs. Besides, any beller or status abosrber ruins this.

Everything Anti said, plus, I would run a Timid Nature.

Anti November 24th, 2007 11:48 PM

Oh yes, timid plz. Or timid gengars will start to bug you X_x

But the trick thing has been invented quite awhile ago. Heck, I used to run mean look passing umbreon and had Zam trick, torment, and CM up ;) You can mess around with it a lot, but the best sets have been unearthed ;)

i like it. it would upset a few pokes.

if you can predict that well, then i say go with it.

Flame Orb? Well, like Anti said, i'd run Choice Specs with Timid. And the Burn is leaving him vulnerable. One question: Will the Burn, well, Burn the opponent too with Sychronize? Also, you can run Grass Knot over Shadow Ball if your Team has a Swampert Weakness.

Synchronize only takes effect if the opponent gives you status. To answer your question, Itachi 2007, it does not take effect.

Alakazam needs Timid Nature. Also, most trainers would use some protecting move on Alakazam on the first turn since its pretty common for TrickSpecs. If they use Protect, then Alakazam's Trick would fail - causing him to burn itself. So I'd recommend Timid with Choice Specs.
