Abra (#063) is a Psychic-type Pokémon from the Kanto region (Generation 1) in Pokémon GO. With a maximum CP of 1,535 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Abra has its niche uses in certain battle scenarios. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Abra in 2026.
Abra's Attack stat is 195 (Good). A decent Attack stat that allows Abra to contribute meaningful damage.
With 82 Defense (Below Average) and 93 Stamina (Below Average), the total stat product is 370. Trainers should be mindful of Abra's limited bulk. Compared to other Psychic-type Pokémon, Abra's stat distribution leans toward offense.
The best moveset for Abra depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Zen Headbutt (Fast) with Psyshock (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Abra has 2 Fast Attacks and 3 Charged Attacks to choose from.
In Great League, Abra can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Psychic typing provides useful matchups against Fighting, Psychic-type threats while being weak to Bug, Ghost, Dark types.
In Master League, Abra faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
As a raid attacker, Abra's effectiveness depends on its typing and 195 Attack stat. It may not be the top raid choice but contributes in the right conditions. Best counters against Abra use Bug, Ghost-type moves.
Abra can be found in the wild, hatched from Eggs, obtained through Research tasks, and during events. In Windy weather, it receives a spawn boost. The buddy distance is 3km per candy — use Pinap Berries for double candy when catching.
Abra is part of a 3-stage evolution family:
