Pokemon GO Mega Alakazam Weakness & Counters
Let’s dive into the weakness of Mega Alakazam in Pokemon GO and the best counters before we talk about its best moveset. Well, weaknesses, to be more exact, because there are several. Mega Alakazam is weak against Ghost, Bug and Dark attacks, from which it takes 160% damage. Meanwhile, it takes only 63% from Fighting and Psychic, so forget about those.

Pokemon GO Mega Alakazam Best Moveset
Now that we’ve covered the weakness and counters portion, let’s get into the best moveset of Mega Alakazam in Pokemon GO. As far as Quick Attacks go, it can have Psycho Cut (Psychic), Confusion (Psychic) and Counter (Fighting, Elite TM). The list of potential Charged Attacks is much longer, and includes Fire Punch (Fire), Future Sight (Psychic), Focus Blast (Fighting), Shadow Ball (Ghost), Psychic (Psychic, Elite TM), and Dazzling Gleam (Fairy, Elite TM).
From this list, I’d say that going with Counter or Confusion as the Quick Attack and Psychic as the Charged Attack is probably the best way to go. Keep it nice and streamlined, as it were. However, your mileage may vary depending on your personal preferences and needs. So, feel free to build your Mega Alakazam however you see fit.
