Alakazam is a tier 3 raid boss in Pokémon GO and it can be shiny! When fighting Alakazam, keep in mind the that Psychic-type Pokémon are weak to Bug, Dark, and Ghost-type moves. They take reduced damage from Fighting and Psychic-type moves.

Alakazam can be caught with the following Combat Power after being defeated in Raids:

  • From 1666 CP to 1747 CP, with no weather boost
  • From 2083 CP to 2184 CP with Windy weather boost

Alakazam can be soloed, but trainers without ideal counters or those who are lower level may want to bring a friend or two. Alakazam is a glass cannon, meaning it hits hard, but it takes a lot of damage too.
