Alakazam Question

[Illusion]

Okay, i already know the EV Layout but i need to know what moves to use

-Calm Mind
-Psychic
---------
-Ice Punch, Fire Punch, T-Punch
-Recover, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, T-Punch

and also why are they the best choice.

 

[Delta]

all of them are good choices depending what you want to hit hard (Skarms, Mence, Gross, etc)

Other options include trickband, HP water for doom adn t-tar and snatch with prediction also works

 

[Illusion]

This is casually competitive if that makes sense, so breeding for HP water is a waiste of time. Trick band is a nope it works i know but not what im looking for. Just wondering out of those moves which one.

Timid Nature @ Leftovers
Calm Mind
Psychic
Thunderpunch
Recover

 

[Hemp Man]

fire punch always for metagross imo.

 

[Illusion]

I am thinking Alakazam doesnt have enough stay power for recover so probably 2 punches.

 

[Blaziken X]

i think you should put this moveset

Alakazam ;065; @ leftovers
1.Psychic
2.Ice Punch
3.Fire Punch
4.Recover

^Recover won't work so well because of Ala's bad defenses and Hp. :/ If you recover from one attack, the next attack is most likely gonna KO it.

 

[Blaziken X]

but what if you add leftovers it will be fully healed

 

[Hey Micky!]

mandatory linking to Smogon, The PotW *coughripoffcough* and the Moveset guide (with added mention that "CTRL+F" and 'Alakazam' works wonders).

Only ever use Recover with CM or BPassing Blaziken X.

Meh, gonna leave this open for a bit longer since Kazam has so much potential that other people's input is probably needed for this single Poke set up. Post your team Hells_Trainer, makes it alot easier to determine what you have to work with.

Sorry Willowwhisp, I just finished the story linfe of my new LG cartrage so i was jsut starting a new team i have no other pokemon chsoen yet im taking it one step at a time. Also i can't read the print on smogon.

Thought so.

 

[Tazzler]

Or....
Alakazam@leftovers
~Encore
~Substitute
~Calm Mind
~Psychic

Owned by metagross/t-tar/etc but it can still work.

 

[Fluorescent Adolescent]

The trickband set is pretty sexified.

 

[Illusion]

Well I'm still EV training it so I have plenty of time to decide i will go with either

-Psychic
-Recover
-Calm Mind
-Fire Punch

or

-Calm Mind
-Psychic
-T-Punch
-Fire Punch

 

[The Ownage]

Seriously, you lot suggest Calm Mind? It's defense is too weak to do that IMO :/
