| rowspan="5" |[[Image:Pokemon_063Abra.png|right]]Abras can be difficult. The only thing they know how to do is Teleport, removing them from battle instantly. So if you're lucky enough to see one in the wild, you've got one turn to snag it (unless its Teleport misses, which is rare). You have a couple of options: One is to have a {{bp|Jigglypuff}} or {{bp|Clefairy}} Sing it to Sleep or if you have {{bp|Butterfree}} you can use Sleep Powder, which makes it easier to catch and also gives you an opportunity to knock it around a bit while it's dozing, The other is to use Wrap to squeeze it until it's low enough to catch, while keeping it from Teleporting away. | | rowspan="5" |[[Image:Pokemon_063Abra.png|right]]Abras can be difficult.

But are they worth it? Probably, since Psychic Pokémon are pretty powerful (skills like Psybeam and Psychic give enemies negative conditions like Confuse and do damage at the same time), and even Abra can learn good techniques from TMs to make up for his own temporary inability to attack. At level 16, Abra will turn into a {{bp|Kadabra}}, which you can and should immediately trade to a friend to evolve it into a powerful {{bp|Alakazam}}. | But are they worth it?

Even if you don't, however, the Confuse technique Abra learns once it levels up, combined with the Same-Type Attack Bonus it gives, grants even a level 16 Kadabra the ability to knock out many Pokémon of comparable level in one hit, even without type advantage. | ||
