Pokémon Red and Blue/Indigo Plateau: Difference between revisions

Alakazam is probably the toughest of Blue's Pokémon.  If you have {{bp|Jolteon}}, Pin Missile is good.  Otherwise you'll have to use a {{bp|Parasect}} or just throw your strongest attacks at him until he forgets to Recover (Psychics with non-Psychic abilities, like {{bp|Slowbro}} and {{bp|Exeggutor}}, are also good, as well as other Pokémon with very high physical attack power. However, Alakazam has low defense, so any powerful physical attack can do. If you managed to get a {{bp|Gyarados}} or  a {{bp|Dragonite}}, and it knows Hyper Beam, it can do lots of damage. Also, If you're lucky enough to have a Hypno or Gengar with higher speed than his Alakazam, and it knows the Hypnosis/Dream Eater combo, it might be worth it to give that a shot.  Dream Eater can almost dish out enough damage to make up for only dealing half damage to Psychics, but be warned: if your Pokémon isn't fast enough to go first, you could wind up wasting a Dream Eater on a suddenly awake Alakazam, and even worse, he might Recover and waste all your hard work.  Jolteon and Magneton are weak against Ground-types, so {{bp|Dugtrio}} (or anyone with Dig and/or Earthquake) is good, but your own {{bp|Jolteon}} or {{bp|Zapdos}} can do well by sticking to their non-Electric attacks.
