How To Evolve Kadabra To Alakazam In Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Before you take the steps to evolve Kadabra to Alakazam in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, there are a few things you need to know. You will first need to catch an Abra and evolve it to Kadabra at level 16, unless you manage to catch a Kadabra directly.

If you’re struggling to catch a Kadabra and just want to evolve an Abra first, you can find one at the following locations:

  • Obsidian Fieldlands: Windswept Run, Sandgem Flats
  • Alabaster Icelands: Lake Acuity

Kadabra’s can also be located at the following locations:

  • Obsidian Fieldlands: Sandgem Flats
  • Alabaster Icelands: Lake Acuity

Now that you’ve either evolved an Abra to a Kadabra at level 16, or simply caught a Kadabra directly, you can now evolve it to an Alakazam. The easiest way to do this is by trading Kadabra with a friend, this will automatically begin the evolution process. However, you need to find somebody trustworthy that will then return the Alakazam to you afterwards.

However, there is another way to evolve Kadabra to Alakazam.  Simply head to Jubilife Village and speak with Simona at the Trading Post, you will then be able to purchase items from her vendor. Purchase the Linking Cable and give it to Kadabra to evolve it into Alakazam.
