R/S kadabra/alakazam moveset
 
im looking for a good alakazam special sweeper (i think thats the best possy for an alakazam) moveset and what EV's to train?

the moveset im thinking of is:

calm mind
recover
thunder punch
psychic

im not sure on the nature (a special attack booster would be great)

so if anyone can help me out with this with what EV's to train and were would be the best location for the training would be would be very appreciated (im thinking route 113 for Special Attck EV but dont know were else for speed or the rest)

thanks in advance guys again

Better moveset for Alakazam (since it doesn't have great defences anyway):

[email protected] Berry
EV: 252 Sp Att, 252 Speed, 6 Sp Def
Nature: + Speed, - Att
Calm Mind
Psychic
Thunderpunch
Ice Punch

As for EV training, you want to get on some Spinda for Sp Att, and Route 118 for Speed.

Alakazam can also have HP Water to hit Houndooms and Tyrannitars.

Toothache October 24th, 2004 7:50 AM

I'd rather have the pseudo bolt-beam of Ice+Thunderpunch, but HP Water over Ice Punch works too.

I have HP Water since a Tyrannitar Sweeped all my Team...

P.S. Don't quote me on my Grammar...

mm...is it really a smart idea to leave Alakazam out there against a Dark pokemon though? granted he will get first hit but if you dont OHKO the bugger your out like a light with his first move.

and im only currently playing R/S not Fr/Lg so i dont have to worry bout those two i dont think..but thier equivilents may be a pain in R/S

thanks for the heads up...i didnt really want to use more than 1 punch but if they do the job then i guess im going that way then :)

cheers guys

Here's what I think...

Role Play
Recover
Psychic
Thunder

Toothache October 25th, 2004 8:10 AM

Let's see... Role Play is more of a hinderance than a help for Alakazam, wasting a precious turn when he could be attacking or CMing. Alakazam doesn't have great defenes at all, so he needs to sweep straight away.

Recover is almost useless, with Alakazam taking more damage than he can heal per round with Special Attacks, and most physical attacks are OHKO for Zam.

Psychic - keep this, a good all round STAB move.

Thunder - 30% miss chance? Useless... go with Thunderpunch if you want an electric attack.

Alakazam is an easy prey for Speedester Linnones =p
But I think the moveset Toothy recomnded is the better one out...

Ice demon October 25th, 2004 1:06 PM

Well there are no real dark types in RS that will give Zam a big run for his money..........

try Toothaches moveset
it works
HP water is a consideration
but thats provided that T-Tar hasn't gotten in any DDs and that Zam is Cm'n up high enough that it is absolutely sure that it can OHKO it.

ie that means that HP water is not as good as one of the punches IMO
but if u can OHKO it then go rite ahead and use it.
