Its strongest point is Sp. Atk — higher than 92% of species. On the other hand, Defense — lower than 98% of species. This is not the final form yet — it evolves once more, so the numbers above describe this stage, not what it will end up as. In defense it has 3 weaknesses and 2 resistances at its disposal.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Sp. Atk; weak point: Defense.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Sp. Atk, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits specially: its Sp. Atk (120) is 85 points higher than its Attack. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all. Evolution does not change it, so pick it for the final form, not for these numbers.
- Timid +Spe · −Atk Its Speed is higher than 89% of species — ten percent more lifts it past some of the benchmarks that decide who moves first.
- Modest +SpA · −Atk If you already outspeed what you want to outspeed, those ten percent are better spent on hitting power.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

TCG cards (6)
All Kadabra cards →Kadabra has 6 cards in 6 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 69 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 20 cycles, which is roughly 5,400 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
