Alakazam · Mega Evolution, what to know.
About the Alakazam card
Alakazam sits at #56 in Mega Evolution, released in September 2025. Mega Evolution is part of the modern English Pokémon TCG era and uses the standard contemporary card frame and rarity tiers. In the games, Alakazam evolves from Kadabra, which makes it a late-stage card in the line.
About Alakazam in the Pokémon world
The fully evolved Abra line. Two silver spoons, large mustache. Base Set holo Alakazam (#1 in the set) is the first card in the run. Sells for a premium over other Base holos because of position significance.
Print variants and how to spot them
Mega Evolution shipped in Holofoil, Reverse Holo, Mega ex, Full Art, and Special Illustration prints. Mega ex cards are the headline rarity tier of the Mega Evolution era and use the new mega-treatment artwork distinct from standard ex cards.
Grading and condition
For graded buyers, modern Rares grade easily but the secondary market for graded modern non-holo Rares is thin. The math rarely justifies submission unless the card is a tournament staple or the Pokémon has independent collector traction.
If you are buying this card
For raw purchases of this card, verify centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface scratches under angled light. Modern Rares are inexpensive in raw and graded condition; submission math rarely works unless the card has independent collector demand.
