      Recommended moves

      Kadabra’s ATK stat (232) is higher than many final Pokémon of a three-stage evolution line. Even though it is fragile, its main issue is its poor moveset. 🤐

      ⚔️ Raids

      Just press the ‘Evolve’ button. ✅

      🛡️ Gyms

      It's too low on bulk to defend a Gym. 😭

      The same. It just melts to Fast moves as well. 😅

      🟣 Master League

      Kadabra has no chance against Master League Pokémon with such high offenses. 🙃
