Item options for Kadabra

Same board, only the carry's three items changed, each set against the same field. Shown as the gap to the best set; a few points is within noise.

How to play it

Opening. Gloom, Ivysaur, Kadabra, Haunter are cheap and in the final board, so buy them early and play the Psychic and Grass synergy from the start. Pick up components for the carry's items as they drop.

Rolling. Stay around level 6–7 and spend your gold on refreshes until Gloom and Ivysaur and Haunter reach 3★ (9 copies each; the pool holds 22 / 29 / 22 copies). At level 6 the PvP shop shows 1-costs in 42% and 2-costs in 40% of slots. Level up once they are done.

Items. Kadabra wants Choice Specs (Calcium + Calcium), Shell Bell (HP Up + Calcium), Focus Sash (HP Up + Carbos). Until you find it, put the same items on Ivysaur, which uses the same stat, and move them with a Magnet later. Tank items (Leftovers, Focus Sash) go on the front-row Pokémon with the most HP.

Positioning. Venusaur in the front row, Kadabra in a back corner where fewer attacks reach it. Check the enemy board before each fight and move the carry away from their biggest area attacks.

Matchups. Strong against Psychic Kadabra (94%) and Grass Raichu Reroll (88%). Struggles against Water Vaporeon Reroll (6%) and Grass Kadabra Reroll (28%).
