'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.
(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]] for more details.)


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Kadabra is a primarily yellow, slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has two long, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, narrow, deep-set eyes, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur; a male will have a longer mustache than a female. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Two of its toes face forward and one backward. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. A gold spoon does not work as an amplifier and Kadabra is only half as strong without a spoon.
A Kadabra is characterized by its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|human-like body structure}} and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from {{wp|Zener cards}}), and two somewhat sinister-looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown section of body similar to a {{wp|fauld}} and an insect-like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and yellow. Its feet each have three toes: two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it. Kadabra wields one spoon, which is used to amplify its telekinetic powers.


====Gender differences====
Kadabra emits {{wp|alpha wave}}s strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backward, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. By closing its eyes, it can double the number of alpha particles it emits. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a pillow. It can store up psychic energy inside its star in preparation for its evolution. There is a theory that Kadabra was born from a transformed human child who could not control his powers. Kadabra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.
A female has a shorter mustache.


===Special abilities===
Kadabra and its evolved form, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Kinesis}}.
Kadabra emit {{wp|alpha waves}} when using its psychic powers that induce headaches to those near it. These waves cause clocks to run backwards and machines to malfunction.  The amplitude of the waves is doubled when Kadabra are holding their spoons and increased even further when Kadabra close their eyes.


Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.
===Evolution===
Kadabra evolves from {{p|Abra}} and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}}.


===Behavior===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
Kadabra, unlike {{p|Abra}}, no longer has to sleep for around 18 hours a day. However, they are less peaceful and are more devoted to fighting than their pre-evolution. However, if they are outnumbered, they will still use {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

==In the TFG==
One Kadabra figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Kadabra|13}}


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kadabra was originally known as "Pocus".
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Red and Green beta|Localization-specific information|Pokémon Red and Blue beta}}, Kadabra was originally known as "Pocus".
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Venonat}} to {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Shelgon}} to {{p|Salamence}} and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.  
* [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] says that Kadabra's [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Red and Green|s}} is a reference to an in-universe novel "Transformation" that won the second Pokémon Literary Award.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a {{DL|List of glitches in Generation II|Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug}} causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Sunflora}}.
* Kadabra has not been printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. This may be due to Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire not to provoke {{wp|Uri Geller}}'s litigious nature.
* If a Kadabra holds an [[Everstone]] from [[Generation III]] onwards while traded, the Everstone will not take effect and the Kadabra will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}. While it shares this trait with {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Haunter}} in Generation III due to a glitch, Kadabra keeps this trait in [[Generation IV]] onwards while the other three do not.
**Possibly due to the same reason, Kadabra has not made any anime appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''.
 
* Due to an oversight, a Kadabra that holds an {{evostone|Everstone}} will still evolve when traded between any of the [[Generation IV]] or [[Generation V]] games.
===Controversy===
{{main|Pokémon controversy#Uri Geller|Pokémon controversy → Uri Geller}}
For 20 years, Kadabra was not printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the English {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion in 2003. This was likely the result of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire to avoid further litigation from illusionist {{wp|Uri Geller}}, who claimed that Kadabra is a parody of him and attempted to sue Nintendo over the notion. However, on November 28, 2020, Geller [https://twitter.com/TheUriGeller/status/1332794451727691777 released an apology on Twitter], announcing that he would allow Nintendo to print cards featuring Kadabra again. The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card released since Uri Geller's dismissal of his lawsuit is included in the Japanese {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset, released on June 16, 2023; and the English {{TCG|151}} expansion, released on September 22, 2023.

Due to the now-lifted limitation, very few {{TCG|Abra}} were printed, with the sole example, the {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} in {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}}, having the ability to evolve directly into {{TCG|Alakazam}} via the '''Ultra Evolution''' {{TCG|attack}}. Alakazam cards also saw fewer than normal printings, but snuck into sets using a number of mechanics that allow for it to be printed as a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} that does not evolve from Kadabra. Examples include [[Alakazam ☆ (EX Crystal Guardians 99)|Alakazam]] {{Star}}, [[Alakazam-EX (Fates Collide 25)|Alakazam]]{{EX}}, and {{TCG ID|Silver Tempest|Radiant Alakazam|59}}.
Kadabra is based on a magician and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.
 
For possibly the same reason, Kadabra had not made any animated appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' aired in the United States in 2006, except for a small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice]]''. Kadabra finally made its media reappearance in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', its first animated appearance in over 16 years, excluding its cameo in the aforementioned movie. Notably, when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met [[Mira]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', she was seen using an Abra instead of a Kadabra as she does in the {{pkmn|games}}, despite the fact that the other [[Stat Trainers]] in the series own the same Pokémon as they do in the games.
 
Kadabra also did not appear in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, whereas Abra and Alakazam did.
 
===Origin===
Kadabra appears to be based on {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magicians}} and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon benders}}. It also shares similarities with {{wp|fox}}es, animals mythologically tied to magic. Its mustache-like tufts of fur may be an exaggeration of a fox's whiskers. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to {{wp|Zener cards}}, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for {{wp|extrasensory perception}} and {{wp|clairvoyance}} in the early 1930s. As it created its spoon with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practise of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesise metals with magic. The "Transformation" novel about Kadabra may be based on {{wp|Franz Kafka}}'s ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}'' or the ''{{Wp|Ultra Q}}'' episode "Kanegon's Cocoon", where a young boy transformed into a strange yellow monster.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Kadabra is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. It may also derive from the Spanish word ''cabra'' (goat).
Kadabra may be derived from ''{{wp|abracadabra}}'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}.


Yungerer is a corruption of {{wp|Uri Geller}} (with リ ''ri'' replaced by the visually similar ン ''n''), who claims to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on famous mystics. Geller attempted to {{wp|Uri Geller#Copyright claims|make a case against}} [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character and lost, Nintendo's defense being that they had not named any Pokémon after actual people.
Yungerer may be named after ''{{wp|Uri Geller}}'', an illusionist famed for his spoon-bending technique. This contributed to Geller {{wp|Uri Geller#Copyright claims|suing}} [[Nintendo]] for using his likeness in a character.

Kadabra (Japanese: ユンゲラー Yungerer) is a Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Abra starting at level 16 and evolves into Alakazam when traded or when exposed to a Linking Cord.

(Refer to Game data→Evolution data for more details.)

Biology

Kadabra is a primarily yellow, slightly humanoid Pokémon with mammalian features. It has two long, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, narrow, deep-set eyes, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur; a male will have a longer mustache than a female. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Two of its toes face forward and one backward. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. A gold spoon does not work as an amplifier and Kadabra is only half as strong without a spoon.

Kadabra emits alpha waves strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backward, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. By closing its eyes, it can double the number of alpha particles it emits. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a pillow. It can store up psychic energy inside its star in preparation for its evolution. There is a theory that Kadabra was born from a transformed human child who could not control his powers. Kadabra lives in urban areas.

Kadabra and its evolved form, Alakazam, are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Kinesis.

Evolution

Kadabra evolves from Abra and evolves into Alakazam.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Brilliant Diamond If one is nearby, an eerie shadow appears on TV screens. Seeing the shadow is said to bring bad luck.
Shining Pearl When it uses its psychic power, it emits strong alpha waves that can ruin precision instruments.
Legends: Arceus There are rumors that a child with mystical powers became a Kadabra; however, this remains unverified. I suspect that the spoon Kadabra holds enhances its brain waves.

Main article: Pokémon controversy → Uri Geller

For 20 years, Kadabra was not printed as a TCG card since the English Skyridge expansion in 2003. This was likely the result of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire to avoid further litigation from illusionist Uri Geller, who claimed that Kadabra is a parody of him and attempted to sue Nintendo over the notion. However, on November 28, 2020, Geller released an apology on Twitter, announcing that he would allow Nintendo to print cards featuring Kadabra again. The first Kadabra card released since Uri Geller's dismissal of his lawsuit is included in the Japanese Pokémon Card 151 subset, released on June 16, 2023; and the English 151 expansion, released on September 22, 2023.

Due to the now-lifted limitation, very few Abra were printed, with the sole example, the Abra in Mysterious Treasures, having the ability to evolve directly into Alakazam via the Ultra Evolution attack. Alakazam cards also saw fewer than normal printings, but snuck into sets using a number of mechanics that allow for it to be printed as a Basic Pokémon that does not evolve from Kadabra. Examples include Alakazam Star, AlakazamEX, and Radiant Alakazam.

For possibly the same reason, Kadabra had not made any animated appearances since Fear Factor Phony aired in the United States in 2006, except for a small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice. Kadabra finally made its media reappearance in the Pokémon Evolutions episode The Show, its first animated appearance in over 16 years, excluding its cameo in the aforementioned movie. Notably, when Ash and his friends met Mira in Pokémon the Series, she was seen using an Abra instead of a Kadabra as she does in the games, despite the fact that the other Stat Trainers in the series own the same Pokémon as they do in the games.

Kadabra also did not appear in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, whereas Abra and Alakazam did.

Origin

Kadabra appears to be based on magicians and spoon benders. It also shares similarities with foxes, animals mythologically tied to magic. Its mustache-like tufts of fur may be an exaggeration of a fox's whiskers. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to Zener cards, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for extrasensory perception and clairvoyance in the early 1930s. As it created its spoon with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practise of alchemy, an early science that sought to synthesise metals with magic. The "Transformation" novel about Kadabra may be based on Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis or the Ultra Q episode "Kanegon's Cocoon", where a young boy transformed into a strange yellow monster.

Name origin

Kadabra may be derived from abracadabra, an incantation used in stage magic.

Yungerer may be named after Uri Geller, an illusionist famed for his spoon-bending technique. This contributed to Geller suing Nintendo for using his likeness in a character.
