Yeah, it's pretty standard I think.

Yeah it is

 

[ShinyFufu]

It is Standard. I just like Thunderpunch over Ice Punch cuz it covers more types. What are the EVs and the held item?

 

[WhiteWizard42]

it's EVs are 252/252 SAtk/Spd, or close to it. its IVs are pretty good, too. it's better-than-average in abilities, but what's dragging it down is it's ridiculously low Atk IV (2-5). defense, SAtk, HP, and Spd are all 22 or above.

that zam is pretty good. only change i'd make is timid > modest.

Train it more. Dont teach it the punches.

That's a good Alakazam. I gave mine:
Psychic
Reflect
Recover
Calm Mind
I strongly recommend using Reflect, since Alakazam can't take a physical attack. Plus you'll be able to last longer in a battle.

Please tell me you did not just suggest that.

If you don't like the EPunches, this will be good.

I personally like all the EPunches on my 'zam.

Setting it up could be nice, too.

wow.
just wow.

What he said ----^

 

[SwordofAeons]

Whats all the wow about?

 

[magnemiteZ]

Pretty much every post was just very funny is all.

 

[ElementalBoxer]

It just depends on preference. EPunches give better type coverage. CM can give you stronger attacks (if you can survive a hit). Recover if you think you can stay alive long enough to use it effectively. Simple as that.

[CharizardMaster]

The reason I picked modest is because, its speed proved to be much high than the rest of my team, as well as other pokemon at level higher than his. Its defence iv is in the twenties. Its evs are 252 in sp att/ 252 in spd and 6 in hp.

 

[Silver Dragonair]

I always wondered if Zam can learn the punches

why cant he do flamethrower, thunderbolt or ice beam
