Abilities

Power Cancel

Once during your opponent's turn, when your opponent's Pokémon uses any Poké-Power, you may discard 2 cards from your hand and prevent all effects of that Poké-Power. (This counts as that Pokémon using its Poké-Power.) This power can't be used if Alakazam is affected by a Special Condition.

Attacks

50

During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Alakazam by attacks from your opponent's Stage 2 Evolved Pokémon is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its superb memory lets it recall everything it has experienced from birth. Its IQ exceeds 5,000.

Rulings (1)

Some abilities referring to "Stage 2 Evolved Pokémon" are receiving errata. These cards do not care if the Pokémon is evolved or not, only if it is a Stage 2 Pokémon. So, Stage 2 Pokémon put into play with abilities like Garchomp LV.X's "Restore" attack still count for these abilities. Alakazam's correct card text should read: "Psychic Guard (50) - During your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Alakazam by attacks from your opponent's Stage 2 Pokémon is reduced by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance)."
