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.

Biology

Abra is a bipedal 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. 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. 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.

Trivia

• Abra has the lowest base Attack, as well as the lowest base Defense along with Smoochum, of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
• Abra is tied with Solosis for the highest Special Attack of all unevolved Pokémon.
• 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.

Origin

Abra is likely based on a mystic or psychic. It also has similarities to goats and foxes, both animals with ties to magic.

Name origin

Abra is part of an incantation used in stage magic, Abracadabra. It may also derive from the Spanish word cabra (goat).

Casey is a reference to Edgar Cayce, a purported psychic famous for entering self-induced trances, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on famous mystics.
