Alakazam

Red
Blue
Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its intelligence quotient is said to be 5,000.
Yellow A POKéMON that can memorize anything. It never forgets what it learns--that’s why this POKéMON is smart.
Gold Closing both its eyes heightens all its other senses. This enables it to use its abilities to their extremes.
Silver Its brain cells multiply continually until it dies. As a result, it remembers everything.
Crystal It has an IQ of 5000. It calculates many things in order to gain the edge in every battle.
Ruby ALAKAZAM’s brain continually grows, making its head far too heavy to support with its neck. This POKéMON holds its head up using its psychokinetic power instead.
Sapphire ALAKAZAM’s brain continually grows, infinitely multiplying brain cells. This amazing brain gives this POKéMON an astoundingly high IQ of 5,000. It has a thorough memory of everything that has occurred in the world.
FireRed It does not like physical attacks very much. Instead, it freely uses extrasensory powers to defeat foes.
LeafGreen Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its IQ (intelligence quotient) is said to be around 5,000.
Emerald While it has strong psychic abilities and high intelligence, an ALAKAZAM’s muscles are very weak. It uses psychic power to move its body.

Mega Alakazam

Sun As a result of Mega Evolution, its power has been entirely converted into psychic energy, and it has lost all strength in its muscles.
