Recommended moves

• Psychic Attacker:Confusion Psychic *

The embodiment of a glass cannon, Mega Alakazam holds the distinction of having the most attacking power of any non-Legendary Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO. On neutral grounds, Mega Alakazam is more of a destructive force than Mega Gengar.

If not for the various Mega and Shadow iterations of Mewtwo, Mega Alakazam is the top Psychic type on offense. With such pros, comes the cons. Mega Alakazam is frail in nature, and so, it cannot take hits. To extract the most out of this Pokémon, you need to dodge and that's a tradeoff as you'll need to use the less damaging but lower duration Fast Move, Psycho Cut, instead of the stronger Confusion.

It's worth knowing Mega Alakazam has a full Fighting moveset, letting you employ it in that meta as well. Even there, fellow Psychic type Mega Evolution, Mega Latios, is preferred due to its access to Aura Sphere.

📈 Should you max out Mega Alakazam?

No.

You should rather invest your time, raid passes and Stardust in a Mewtwo. Its Shadow and Mega Evolutions blow other Psychic types out of the water when it comes to countering raid battles.

In addition, Mega Alakazam doesn't do as well as other monsters in raids. For instance:

Against Fighting-type raid bosses: Mega Rayquaza is at the summit and Mega Alakazam isn't high tier. Against Poison-type raid bosses: Primal Groudon pulls ahead, Mega Alakazam remains mid.

Add Mewtwo versions to these battles above. In other words, Mega Alakazam doesn't get too much preference when bolder options exist.

Mega Evolutions are generally not allowed in the GO Battle League, but in the limited formats where they are usable, Mega Alakazam is a glass cannon that grabs a few wins but loses badly otherwise due to its low bulk.
