Pokemon TCG Best Alakazam Deck Guide Overview
Alakazam’s draw is its move Powerful Hand. This move places 2 damage counters on the Defending Pokemon for each card in your hand. So having 10 cards, for instance, would let you deal 200 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon. To facilitate this, it uses its ability and its Stage 1 Pokemon Kadabra’s ability to draw more cards when they evolve.
Additionally, they are both paired with Dudunsparce from Temporal Forces, which lets you draw three cards while shuffling itself back into your deck.
