What do the attacks on Alakazam 2 cost, and what do they hit for?

The card prints 1 attack. The strongest asks for 3 Energy and returns 30 damage, which is 10 damage for every Energy card attached.

Alakazam 2 — every printed attack, its cost and its damage
Attack	Energy cost	Cards of Energy	Printed damage	Damage per Energy	Effect
Psychic	3 Colorless	3	30+	10	This attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon.

Retreating costs a further 2 Energy, discarded from this card, and that cost is paid on top of anything in the table.

Psychic3 Energy cards

The Energy this attack asks a deck to attach before it can be used, drawn as the symbols printed on the card.

One Energy card attaches per turn, so the number of symbols is also the number of turns the attack waits.

Psychic 3 Energy30 damage for 3 Energy — 10 per Energy card30

Bars are printed damage against this card's own highest attack (30).

Why one of these damage figures carries a symbol

A number on a Pokémon card is not always the number that lands.

Psychic is printed as 30+, so the printed number is a floor — the attack deals at least that much, and the sentence beside it says what adds to it.

How does Alakazam 2 compare with every other card?

Each bar below is the whole archive cut by one printed figure, with the band this card falls into marked. A number on its own says nothing about whether it is high or low — the shape of the archive does.

What Alakazam 2 does without attacking

Alakazam 2 carries 1 printed effect that work outside the attack step, so it can matter on a turn the card never attacks.

Printed effects

Capped at once a turn

1 of 1

Read from the printed text quoted below, not counted anywhere else.

Energy Jump — Poké-Power · once a turn

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may move an Energy card from 1 of your Pokémon to another of your Pokémon. This power can't be used if Alakazam is affected by a Special Condition.

Quoted from the card face. The label after the dash is how the card itself names the effect.

Why this sits apart from the attacks

An attack costs Energy and ends your turn. What is printed above does neither — it is available while the card is in play, so it is a different kind of cost to a deck. Attack costs are in the section above.

Energy Jump can only be used once a turn

The words once during your turn are printed in it, which caps it at one use per turn on that one card. Two copies of the card in play are two separate Pokémon, so each carries its own use.

Is Alakazam 2 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Printed damage on its own says nothing — a 30 damage attack that needs 3 Energy and one that needs two are different cards. Dividing one by the other puts every attack on the same scale.

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 30 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

What does being a Psychic card do for Alakazam 2?

Type decides two things at once — which cards take double damage from this one, and which cards deal double to it. Both are read from the weakness printed on each group, not from a rule of thumb.

What is Alakazam as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Alakazam 2 is one print of Alakazam. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Alakazam has been printed 35 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Bars are the highest HP ever printed on that stage, measured against the top of this line (140 HP). The note beside each bar is the hardest attack printed at that stage.

Every print of a stage is counted, not just the one shown in the chain above, so the bar is the ceiling that stage has reached rather than one card from it.

Is this the strongest Alakazam print, and can the older ones still be played?

35 prints carry this name in the archive, and 27 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (310 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Which rules apply to Alakazam 2, and where can it be played?

Two kinds of rule meet on one card — the sentence printed on the card face, and the rulebook clauses that apply because of what the card carries.

Alakazam 2 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

Its hardest attack, Psychic, needs 3 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 3 turns from an empty card.
That works out at 10 damage for every Energy card attached.
Moving it out of the active spot costs 2 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
It cannot start the game in play — Kadabra has to be on the field first.

Where its HP stands, cut four ways

Every card in the archiveNo. 6,636 of 17,290

Psychic cardsNo. 802 of 2,334

Stage 2 cardsNo. 1,502 of 1,749

SkyridgeNo. 10 of 156

What actually removes it

A Psychic attack printed at 50 damage removes it in a single turn — that is the bar, not its 100 HP.
862 cards in the archive clear that bar.
Going the other way, it removes 509 cards in one attack.

Alakazam 2 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Alakazam 2?

Alakazam 2 has 100 HP and a Psychic weakness at ×2, so a Psychic attack printed at 50 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 100.

What is the strongest attack on Alakazam 2?

Psychic, printed at 30 damage for 3 Energy — 10 damage per Energy card. This attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon.

What is the retreat cost of Alakazam 2?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

What does the + after the damage on Psychic mean?

It marks the damage as conditional: the printed figure is the least it can deal, and the sentence on the card says what is added to it. The full sentence is printed on the card and quoted in the attack table on this page — "This attack does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each Energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon."

How often can you use Energy Jump?

Once during your turn. The limit is printed in the ability itself, and it is counted per Pokémon — a second copy of Alakazam in play carries its own use.

Can an older Alakazam print be played in a tournament?

Legality is read from the print, not from the Pokémon. Of the 27 prints listed on this page, 8 are legal in Standard play. The rest can still be played in formats that accept them, and the table on this page names the regulation mark each print carries.

What does Alakazam evolve from?

Kadabra. It cannot be played straight from your hand onto an empty spot — the earlier stage has to be in play first.

Can Alakazam 2 be played in a tournament?

It is legal in Unlimited play. Standard events run on a rotating list of sets, so check the current rotation before entering one.

Does this page say how good Alakazam 2 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
