Alright, so I’ve been trying to beef up my Alakazam in Pokémon Go, make him a real powerhouse. I did some digging around to figure out the absolute best moveset for this guy, and here’s what I found, and, more importantly, what I did.
My Alakazam Moveset Journey
First, I looked at all the possible moves. I mean, there are a few choices, right? You’ve got your fast moves and your charged moves, and it gets confusing figuring out which combination is gonna do the most damage. My Alakazam initially had some pretty lame moves, I will change it.

So, I started experimenting. I tried a few different combinations, used some TMs (those things are precious, so I used them sparingly!), and battled a bunch. Gym battles, raid battles, even some trainer battles – I wanted to see how my Alakazam performed in different situations.
I found that the hands-down, best setup is:
- Fast Move: Psycho Cut
- Charged Move: Future Sight
I learned that these two moves, both Psychic-type, just dish out crazy damage. I was using my super Alakazam, and it is * they’re especially good against Fighting and Poison-type Pokémon, which I see a lot defending gyms.
I use some TMs, and changed the original movesets. Seriously, this combo is awesome.
So, that’s it, plain and simple. Getting these moves on my Alakazam made a big difference, and I hope it helps you. Get them!
