Alakazam questions

Is Alakazam a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Alakazam joins the collection from the Kanto gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Alakazam in PokéSurvivor?

Alakazam is Psychic. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Alakazam be shiny?

Yes. A wild Alakazam is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Alakazam a rift legendary?

No. Alakazam can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
