It's crazy that Alakazam is STILL the best pokemon ever. High speed, high attack, and the best type too!

"B-B-But his defense is garbage!" Bitch, if don't have to worry about that useless stat if you always move first and kill your opponent in 1 shot >_> Easy game

Focus Blast will destroy that 4x weakness to fighting. It's hits 70% of the time everytime!

Sorry, even with max Sp. Atk EVs, Shadow Ball isn't OHKOing Mimikyu after it's disguise break...

Shadow Claw does OHKO Alakazam though... and if it wanted overkill, it could run Phantom Force...

Mimikyu almost always has Shadow Sneak, so Focus Sash isn't saving him.

Alakazam has mostly been in Underused, drifting in and out of the banlist, ever since Gen 3.

He does that so that other pokemon can play around in OU without having to worry about getting blown the fuck out by Alakazam constantly. It's very thoughtful of him

Wait, what if Alakazam Mega Evolves, traces Mimikyu's disguise, then it can tank a hit and destroy it with its beefed up Special stat

Gen 1-2 Alakazam was only great because Psychic was an OP type (balanced a bit by Dark in gen 2) and it didn't have a lot of competition yet

Gen 3 added more Psychic types that were worth using and Alakazam's dominance became threatened

Gen 4 nerfed Alakazam's move list by reassigning physical and special attacks, limiting its potential and causing it to lose ground to other, better Psychic-types in later gens

So we're looking at an alakazam with a Focus Sash, running Psychic, Reflect, Kinesis, and Focus Blast?

If I'm following everything you've listed so far.
