Kadabra (Japanese: ユンゲラー Yungerer) is a Psychic-type Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and it's 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 Zener cards), and two somewhat sinister looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and it's relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown colored pauldron shape sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly 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. It's torso consists of a brown colored section of body similar to a 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. It's legs are very thin and also yellow colored. It's 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.
Gender differences
A female has a shorter moustache.
Special abilities
Its signature move is Kinesis.
Behavior

Trivia
- "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
- Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Other examples would include Porygon to Porygon2 and Gloom to Bellossom.
- Kadabra has what appears to be a bulge in the back of its head in Generation I sprites, this seems to have been dropped in subsequent generations, or it may have been a side effect of the poor quality of the backsprites in the first generation. In Addition, in the red and blue sprites Kadabra has a thinner tail, where as in all other sprites it is much fatter and does not move freely.
Origin
Kadabra is based on a magician or someone who purports to bend spoons psychically, such as Uri Geller. It also has similarities to foxes.
Name origin
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in stage magic, Abracadabra. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician Uri Geller, replacing the ri character with the visually similar n character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon. Geller attempted to make a case against Nintendo of America for using his likeness in a character and lost.
