Flavor Text

: It stares at its silver spoon to focus its mind. It emits more alpha waves while doing so.

: When it uses its psychic power, it emits strong alpha waves that can ruin precision devices.
: If it uses its abilities, it emits special alpha waves that cause machines to malfunction.
: Kadabra emits a peculiar alpha wave if it develops a headache. Only those people with a particularly strong psyche can hope to become a Trainer of this Pokémon.
: Kadabra holds a silver spoon in its hand. The spoon is used to amplify the alpha waves in its brain. Without the spoon, the Pokémon is said to be limited to half the usual amount of its telekinetic powers.

: A theory exists that this Pokémon was a young boy who couldn’t control his psychic powers and ended up transformed into this Pokémon.
: Kadabra’s presence infests televisions and monitors with creepy shadows that bring bad luck.
: It stares at a silver spoon to amplify its psychic powers before it lets loose. Apparently, gold spoons are no good.
: It possesses strong mental capabilities, but its psychic powers are halved when it’s not holding a silver spoon.
