    I've been looking at move sets that people have been suggesting here for Alakazam and there is one thing I don't get. A lot of the move sets suggest using Psycho Cut. Is there any specific reason? Alakazam already has a STAB with Psycic, and Psycho Cut is a physical attack with less power. Is there just something that I'm not seeing?
     
    I can't see a clear reason why Psycho Cut was suggested.
     
    Unless someone wants to really surprise someone with a Swords Dance Baton Passing to a physical Zam, but...meh, >_>. I wouldn't do that. I DO wanna' try though...

    Don't do it. Even with Swords Dance, he's too weak.
     
    He meant someone using Swords Dance then Baton Passing to Alakazam...

    I wonder if anyone has tried a Physical Alakazam
     
    My bad. I was under the impression that his atk was laughably pathetic.
     
    Thanks guys, it's nice knowing it wasn't just me wondering about that. :P
     
    It could be because of the high critical hit chance along with Stab for Psycho Cutter.
     
    Alakazam @ Choice Band
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) (Now there's something you don't see everyday)
    -Focus Blast
    -Psycho Cut
    -Tackle
    -Splash

    ...Just joking...
     
    Actually the Physical moveset would include the Elemental Punches

    -Psycho Cut
    -Thunderpunch
    -Ice Punch
    -Fire Punch
     
    yeah, samson mentioned CB alakazam not too long ago, but it's more for surprise. it'll only work against someone the first time. anyway, one extreme speed from arcanine or lucario and it's a gonner.
