Possessing the ability to read minds, Abra can sense danger. When it does, it usually {{m|Teleport}}s in order to escape danger. It has been observed that once every hour, it will teleport to another location. By hypnotizing itself, it can send itself into sleep and be able to teleport while doing so. If it decides to teleport randomly, it creates the illusion of multiple copies. However, it can sometimes know some of the attacks its evolved forms know (although, they wouldn't be as strong).

Trivia

  • "Hocus" was Abra's original English name.
  • Abra and its evolutions are in all the regional Pokédexes.
  • Abra and its evolutions are all named for magic words.
  • For the first three generations, Abra was the first Pokémon alphabetically in the Pokédex. However, in the fourth generation, this became Abomasnow.

Origin

Name origin

Abra's name is part of an incantation used in stage magic, Abracadabra. Its Japanese name may be derived from 消し飛ぶ keshitobu, to scatter away, referring to its tendency to teleport from battle. It may also be a reference to Edgar Cayce, a "sleeping prophet" who claimed to have visions in trance-like states. It also has similarities to foxes.
