1. Tiers are based on usage, not quality
2. Fuck that though because the two tend to correlate. Alakazam has crazy speed and attack power but a stiff breeze knocks him over and his movepool is pretty shallow.
Like I said, that rating is not entirely based on Alakazam's actual goodness as a Pokemon. It just apparently isn't used very often in the current OU metagame.

which makes no sense alakazam has a huge sp a and great speed.
Pure psychics suck pretty bad though
Pure anything sucks pretty bad
Edit: agree with SR. It is the glass cannon-ist of glass cannon pokes. There's psychics that can actually take a hit that are just straight up better than alakazam
Steel is far from broken. Weak against Fire, Fighting and Ground is not exactly awesome. Especially considering how often you see EQ and any Fighting attack to deal with Darks.

I've heard enough. redhead, I sentence you to buy AND play either Heart Gold or Soul Silver. The choice between the two can be made at your discretion.

so make it a lead and tear through shit, it has enough versatility that it can knock down a shit load of pokemon
Not really, the only weird thing about it is manipulable hidden power
and really that makes Alakazam better, not worse
http://www.audioentropy.com/
Can't see it happening, I'd just pull out a combo steel type /combo dark type and stop that shit right there
Or a SP Wall
Unless the other guy's lead has a priority move + a focus sash
which
incidentally
most of the them do!

are steel types weak against grass? because alakazam can learn energy ball.
trainin one right now
is HP Dragon any good?
Water type in general is awesome, and steel as a typing is just too goddamn strong
Funny how gen 2 offers up two types to weaken psychic; one is well balanced and the other is just straight-up broken good
nope, but focus blast takes care of them too
i think i am thinking of grass knot
No, resistant in fact
Overused
it's a pokemon that sees a lot of use in competitive battles
there is a lot of gold and silver music, too

i was actually about to make that post myself
i consider it a personal failing
but apparently not one i'm in a hurry to rectify
right
i refuse to testify!!
that can't protect you forever
something between Underused and Overused
