Strategy Overview
Kadabra is an excellent revenge killer in the PU tier. In contrast to Musharna, which offers good defensive utility, Kadabra's main niche comes with its unique ability to check many offensive threats with Magic Guard and Counter. Kadabra's Focus Sash cannot be broken by residual damage due to its ability, which makes it very reliable at revenge killing. Its base 105 Speed tier is decent in PU, as it lets Kadabra outspeed Pokemon like Jynx, Simisear, and the Silvally formes, but it isn't amazing either, as Kadabra can also be outsped by important threats such as Alolan Persian and Lycanroc. Kadabra's main drawback comes from its terrible defensive stats, meaning it cannot switch into any type of attack; this makes Kadabra hard to fit on any archetype other than hyper offense.
