Alakazam [Shadowless] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Alakazam made its TCG debut in Base Set as card 1/102, giving this Shadowless holo a special place as one of the very first headliner Psychic Pokémon in the English game.
Set Lore
The Shadowless version comes from Base Set’s transitional 1999 print run, where Wizards of the Coast removed the 1st Edition stamp but had not yet added the artwork box drop shadow or thicker HP font seen on Unlimited cards.
Set Lore
Base Set Shadowless cards are especially coveted because Bulbapedia notes this run was a small print run unique to Base Set and is highly sought after for rarity close to 1st Edition.
Artist
This card’s artwork is by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives Shadowless Alakazam the feel of early franchise history captured by one of its defining artists.
In-Game
Its famous flavor text about a brain that can outperform a supercomputer mirrors long-running Alakazam game lore, where Pokédex entries describe its intellect as exceeding an IQ of 5,000.
