Like all mega evolutions, Mega Alakazam can’t be directly caught in Pokémon Go. Instead, you need to keep defeating it in Mega Raids until you’ve collected enough Mega Alakazam Energy for its evolution. Below you’ll find Mega Alakazam’s counters and weaknesses to help you defeat in Pokémon Go - just remember you need to have an Alakazam in your Pokémon storage to conduct its Mega Evolution. On this page:

The name and appearance of this Pokémon, like the other members of its evolution tree, was clearly inspired by magic and magicians. Alakazam’s spoons are a reference to spoon depending - a common trick used by magicians. (Though Uri Geller is yet to sue Nintendo over this Pokémon.) The alakazam is also part of the traditional incantation used in stage magic - abracadabra alakazam! This means that when you put all of the names from this Pokémon species together - Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam - they recreate this incantation. Good luck defeating Mega Alakazam in Pokémon Go!
