[The_real_cal_howard]

Ooh, this is gonna be a long match...

Base Alakazam. Alive Itachi. Speed equalized.

Well Itachi's bread and butter is genjutsu, he'll probably lead with some form of it, or even Tsukuyomi. So question is can Alakazam resist genjutsu?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Yes

 

[Ogbunabali]

How good is his resistance?

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

The upper psychics can resist the effects of an amped Drowzee, who could mindhax every Pokémon on an island (which numbers in the millions).

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Yes he can resist it on top of precog to know to not look Itachi in the eye

 

[Ogbunabali]

Yep that about covers it. Since this is SBA it wouldn't be surprising for Itachi to stay back and send crow clones first, and if he sees Alakazam as a threat, he'll probably Amaterasu/Totsuka Blade.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Which alakazam precog to avoid

 

[Ogbunabali]

That's Mega Alakazam tho isn't it?

 

[WeeklyBattles]

Nope, its regular alakazam

 

[Ogbunabali]

Then why do both links link to Mega Alakazam, and the Precog is in his Mega Alakazam key only?

A Pokémon that uses psychic power. It is highly intelligent and capable of instantly identifying its foe's weakness.

 

[Ogbunabali]

That's not Precognition, that's Information Analysis.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Alakazam does still have Future Sight, which is still capable of seeing the future despite being an attack, as shown by a Girafarig.

 

[Ogbunabali]

Where does it do that, the descrpion is

"A special Psychic-type attack. It strikes the target two turns after it is used."

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Taken from Bulbapedia:

Girafarig's eyes or whole body glows light blue. After a little bit of time passes, the wind blows strong and a sphere of rainbow colored energy comes out of nowhere, striking the opponent. Future Sight has a second ability that allows the user and occasionally its Trainer to see into the future.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

There's also the manga explanation that shows exactly how Future Sight works

 

[Ogbunabali]

Source for both those things? Because I just watched the fight in the episode "The Psychic Sidekicks", and Girafarig didn't see the future and it was never implied or stated that it did. Just explained that it's a "delayed psychic attack".

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Because it's not in the fight against Pikachu. It happens in the fight against Team Rocket.

 

[Ogbunabali]

Yeah you're right. Although he needs to actually use the attack to see the future and even then it didn't help Girafarig to dodge or even hit Pikatchu so I guess it's not that impressive, it also leaves him in a very vulnerable position open to attacks.

 

[WeeklyBattles]

I cant post scans right now as I'm on mobile but I know for a fact the future sight scan from the manga was posted in another thread recently
