Alakazam
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave
- Recover
- Reflect /Seismic Toss / Kinesis

Psychic gets STAB along with Alakazam's sexy 135 Special. Paralysis is one of the staples of R/B/Y and a paralyzed team basically loses. Recover if you are hit just recover and then get on with the paralysis spreading and the sweeping.Reflect / Seismic Toss / Kinesis is up to preference, I personally prefer Seismic Toss as does damage to Special tanks that Psychic won't do much to. Kinesis can help from Chansey from freezing you and can also prevent things like Eggy from sleeping you. Reflect helps with its awful defense, you basically need to predict a switch to use it though. With Reflect up Snorlax has a low chance of OHKOing you with Hyper Beam. You need to basically get a special fall on the switch or CH to mess up Physical Attackers though.

Counters:
Chansey,Snorlax,Slowbro,Tauros, most normals can seem to beat him also.

Opinion:
Alakazam has been good in every generation. Alakazam has high crit rate because of his great speed. Alakazam+Thunder Wave=<3 if you can manage to get Gole/Rhydon out of the way before sending him in he will paralyze pretty much everything and then have fun sweeping teams. This guy is great.
