Pokemon of the Day: Mega Alakazam
Much like the reality, the Pokemon world is cruel and unfair. Some Pokemon is forgotten and ignored much like Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2. While others are destined for glory. Alakazam falls into the latter. Just like the popular kid in school, once again the spoon bending Pokemon has gotten all the attention, now given a mega evolutionary.
Mega Alakazam is at a level…. maybe two levels above its original form. This mega-evolved pokemon is a monster. Just looking at his offensive capabilities instills fear into my heart. Mega Alakazam will no doubt be popular among those who play competitive Pokemon. In my opinion there is a good chance that he will be banned from standard play, simple because he is too powerful for his own good.
Mega Alakazam by no means invincible. Just in like previous generations, Scizor will be able to scare Mega Alakazam with a Bullet Punch or with a well predicted Pursuit. Since. Mega Alakazam has terrible defenses, outspeeding it and attacking it with a physical move is the way to go. When facing Mega Alakazam knowing your opponent is the key – prediction is a must.

Mega Alakazam @ Alakazamite
Evs: 252 Special Attack, 252 Speed, 4 Hp
Nature: Timid, Ability: Trace
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power Fire/Hidden Power Ice/Calm Mind
It is hard to decide which moves to give Mega Alakazam. Without solid information about the upcoming metagame, it is very hard to pick what coverage move is needed. Psyshock and Focus Blast are essentials. Signal Beam is necessary to combat Celebi, Latios, Latias or any dark Pokemon that attempts to soak up a Psyshock. The last slot is tricky and it really depends on what is running around in the metagame. Hidden Power Fire is for Jirachi and Scizor. Hidden Power Ice is to hit dragons. Calm mind is a good idea, if you can force a switch or predict well.
