[OVERVIEW]
Compared to other revenge killers such as Ribombee, Sneasel, and Cinccino, Kadabra stands out thanks to its combination of Magic Guard + Focus Sash, which allows it to always check Pokemon such as Scrafty, Silvally-Fairy, Silvally-Ghost, and Sandslash regardless of their Speed. However, Kadabra has to avoid ever getting hit in order to do so. Kadabra can be quite hard to fit on teams because of how hard it is to get in without losing its Focus Sash or a teammate. Kadabra also has to be wary of multi-hit move users such as Gigialith, Sneasel, and Cinccino, and unlike some of the previously mentioned revenge killers, it hardly offers any defensive utility.

[Set Description]
Psychic is a powerful and reliable STAB option. Dazzling Gleam is Kadabra's best option to deal with Dark-types, such as Scrafty and Absol. Shadow Ball is a solid choice to hit Steel- and Psychic-types such as Doublade and Galarian Articuno for good damage. Kadabra can use Thunder Wave to help deal with Quiver Dance users that it can't KO, like Ribombee and Frosmoth. Counter is its best way to KO healthy physical setup sweepers such as Perrserker, Silvally-Fairy, and Carracosta. Because Kadabra has to stay at 100% HP to utilize its Focus Sash, teammates that can safely bring in Kadabra with Volt Switch or U-turn, such as Wishiwashi, Lanturn, and Togedemaru, are appreciated.
