Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Alakazam has all of the tools to be extremely threatening but unfortunately for it, bulky tar exists and as such it requires an obscene amount of support to perform remotely well. It wouldn't surprise me if it rose up the VR a bit in the future but it's never going to be tiered as OU unless tar...
I don’t really know where I stand on sleep but every time I encounter a smeargle or some gambling addict running hypnosis I lean closer and closer to wanting sleep banned. These things never fail to genuinely make my day worse

Explanations for the pokemon I feel need them:
