Ok guys, ever since i saw a kadabra i wondered what the odd appendage between kadabras legs was, i mean even the females had it. Does anyone have any insight on what that thing is? It was not there in rby or gsc, it appeared in the third gen. So if you have any info, please post

??

Although Reshiram's appendage is bigger, Kadabra is still a cool Pokemon. This appendage was still present in Gen 1, and here's a better picture detailing it.


I believe this Pokedex entry might shed a little light on the matter.

It is rumored that a boy with psychic abilities suddenly transformed into Kadabra while he was assisting research into extrasensory powers.
What I want to know is why he loses this appendage when he evolves into Alakazam...

It didn't disappear. He's just wearing underwear now:


Fun fact: Alakazam can learn Iron Tail even though it lost its tail when it evolved from Kadabra.

It's nice to see that Kadabra matures as evolves.

More to the point.... what are those red lines above it?
Bulbapedia says the star on his forehead and the three red lines above his appendage are related to something called Zener cards.

That dex entry makes me wonder where Abras came from o_0

I think the real question is why would you want your Alakazam to know Iron Tail?

Or...

Maybe your making a big deal out of nothing and you forgot the classic formula for Manga monsters:

Animal+Ability+Standing Upright+Random Stripes/Symbols/Appendages=Manga Monster

So in other words...

Fox+Psychic Powers+Standing Upright+Weird red Symbols/Weird cuffs and Appendages=Kadabra

I wasn't aware that all Manga monsters had this appendage, this is something worth looking into...

It's true!

SUPER CONTESTS! It will dazzle the judges, since they'll have no idea how it pulled off that attack in the first place.
