Stats & Training
Abra's all-in on Sp. Atk at the expense of Defense. The special lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 1 Sp. Atk EV and follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
It uses various psychic powers even while it’s sleeping, so you can’t tell whether or not it’s awake.
It can read others’ minds and will teleport away when danger approaches. You must clear your mind if you want to catch it.
Abra Weakness
Abra's Psychic typing leaves it vulnerable to Bug, Ghost, and Dark. Abra's special bulk (base 55 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
