Base Set 2

Alakazam 1/130 · Base Set 2

Alakazam, Base Set 2 #1

Alakazam is Pokédex #065, generation 1 (Kanto). Alakazam is a Stage 2 Psychic Pokémon with 80 HP. The card lists level 42. The card says it evolves from Kadabra. In this catalog that name is Kadabra (#064).

Alakazam sits at 1/130 in Base Set 2, position 1 of 130. The next card is 2 Blastoise. The set belongs to the Base series. It was released on February 24, 2000. The printed size is 130, and the checklist is the same length. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Damage Swap is listed as Pokémon Power. As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move 1 damage counter from 1 of your Pokémon to another as long as you don't Knock Out that Pokémon. This power can't be used if Alakazam is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The attack Confuse Ray lists 30 damage. The cost is Psychic, Psychic, Psychic. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Confused. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "Its brain can outperform a supercomputer. Its intelligence quotient is said to be 5000."

Alakazam (#065) has 28 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 18 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Alakazam 1/102 in Base (1999). Both list 80 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. 23 other cards of Alakazam list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Base Set 2 set binder is where a full Base Set 2 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Alakazam can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
