Abra (Japanese: ケーシィ Casey) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves into Kadabra starting at level 16, which evolves into Alakazam when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord.
(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)
Biology
Abra is a bipedal mammalian Pokémon that is primarily yellow. Its face is kite-shaped with a small, pale yellow snout and two short, pointed ears with pale yellow interiors. Its wide eyes are normally closed. Abra's body is segmented with black skin is visible between its joints and along its neck. It has two brown, pauldron-shaped extensions on its shoulders, as well as a brown, fauld-like piece around its chest. It has three digits on each hand and foot, but its fingers considerably shorter than its toes. Two of its toes face forward and one faces backward. Its tail is thick and long, with a brown band located near the tip.
Abra can sense danger through a telepathic radar. When it does, it teleports to a safe location. However, it sometimes becomes panicked if it wakes in an unknown location. By hypnotizing itself, Abra is able to teleport itself even while sleeping. It can use other extrasensory abilities while sleeping as well and can even teleport into the treetops to pick and eat berries. The deeper Abra sleeps, the farther it teleports. Due to the strain of its telepathic powers, however, Abra sleeps 18 hours each day. If it fails to rest long enough, it will become unable to use its powers. The contents in Abra's dream can affect its powers. Abra lives in urban areas, but has been observed to teleport to a different location once per hour. If it teleports randomly, it can create illusory copies.
Evolution
Abra evolves into Kadabra, which evolves into Alakazam.
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

In the TFG
One Abra figure has been released.
Trivia
- In the Pokémon Red and Blue beta, Abra was originally known as "Hocus".
- In Pokémon Conquest, Abra is seen floating. Despite this, it is still considered a grounded Pokémon and can activate ground traps such as the Cog Wheel in Valora.
- Of all Psychic-type Pokémon, Abra has the lowest base Attack and is tied with Smoochum for the lowest base Defense.
- In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, a wild Abra will Teleport away if the player tries to approach it from the front.
- Abra has the highest flee rate in Pokémon GO at 99%, meaning it is almost guaranteed to run away after breaking out of a Poké Ball. This is an homage to the core series, where it will use Teleport to escape on the first turn.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, wild Abra will always drop a Max Ether when defeated.
Origin
Abra may be based on a mystic or psychic. It also has similarities to foxes, animals mythologically tied to magic. Given the rat-like tail of its early sprites and the fact that it sleeps 18 hours a day, Abra could also draw inspiration from opossums. Its segmented body parts and animations in some games such as Pokémon Stadium are similar to those of marionette puppets.
Name origin
Abra may be derived from abracadabra, an incantation used in stage magic.
Casey may be named after Edgar Cayce, a purported psychic famous for entering self-induced trances.
