Strategy Overview

Kadabra is the best revenge killer that the tier has to offer thanks to the combination of Magic Guard, Focus Sash, and a fantastic movepool. It also makes a very strong Life Orb attacker. However, the Focus Sash set is slightly weak, and both sets have awful bulk. Kadabra is also outsped by a few threats despite its great Speed, and a vulnerability to Pursuit means it needs to be careful about having its Focus Sash broken or being outright KOed.
