Despite being a Generation I Pokémon, Alakazam remains one of the strongest representatives of the psychic type within Pokémon GO. Capturing wild Abra is not easy, however, and a good alternative to getting an Alakazam with good stats is to take it home via a Raid Boss Battle. Fortunately, there are good chances of facing it even alone, so here is our practical Alakazam Raid Boss Individual Battle Guide.
In short, Alakazam is a good buy for their team, Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company, however, have not made things simple and facing the Raid Boss Battle alone is anything but a walk. First of all, pre-requisites will be needed in order to have some hope, as well as an excellent team of counters in order to defeat the enemy effectively.
Recommended prerequisites:
- Minimum player level: 30
- Minimum pokémon level: 30
- Weaknesses: Beetle, Dark, Ghost
- Time available: 180 seconds
Team to use:
- Mewtwo: Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball
- Tyranitar: Bite, Crunch
- Gengar: Misfortune, Shadowwalker
- Houndoom: Urlorabbia, Ripicca
- Banette: Shadow Claw, Shadow Ball
- Absol: Urlorabbia, Neropulsar
- Dragonite: Codadrago, Outrage
- Alakazam: Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball

To be successful you will need to not only meet the prerequisites, but also have lightning-fast reflexes in attacking and dodging. If you do so, the Raid Boss Alakazam will be defeated in the time available and you will access the capture screen. In this case, to further increase the possibilities, use golden berry and curved shoots.
