How to play it
Opening. Kadabra, Raichu, Golduck are cheap and in the final board, so buy them early and play the Psychic and Water synergy from the start. Pick up components for the carry's items as they drop.
Leveling. Level to 8 and refresh for the Staryu. At level 8 the shop shows 4-costs in 26% of slots and 5-costs in 6%.
Items. Kadabra wants 2× Choice Specs (Calcium + Calcium), Focus Sash (HP Up + Carbos). Until you find it, put the same items on Golduck, 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. Slowbro 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 Grass Raichu Reroll (63%). Struggles against Grass Kadabra Reroll (0%) and Electric Raichu Reroll (6%).
