Alakazam, known for its incredible psychic powers and staggering intellect, is a formidable Psychic-type Pokémon inPokémon GO. With its brain cells continuously multiplying, Alakazam boasts an IQ of over 5000, giving it the ability to outsmart its opponents in battles. When it Mega Evolves into Mega Alakazam, it gains even more speed and power, making its Psychic-type moves devastatingly effective. The spoons it carries are conduits for its psychic energy, which intensify further during its Mega Evolution, allowing it to harness more psychic power than ever before. Whether coordinating in raids or battling in gyms, Mega Alakazam is a top-tier choice for trainers looking to leverage Psychic-type strength to its fullest potential.
You cannot catch Mega Alakazam. Instead, you will have to catch Alakazam and then Mega Evolve it yourself. To Mega Evolve Alakazam for the first time in Pokémon GO, it requires200 Mega Energy. After the initial Mega Evolution, any subsequent Mega Evolutions of Alakazam will cost 40 Mega Energy.
