[OVERVIEW]
Positives
- One of the most automatic inclusions in an RBY UU team, contender for top mon
- Strongest Psychic, Faster than Tentacruel, TWave, its a Kadabra
- Only resisted by another Kadabra (viable mons), access to Seismic Toss
- Mention Potential as a lead
Negatives
- Frailty causes awkward scenarios, especially vs the Normal-types
- Once paralyzed, typically sack outside of x scenarios
- Fast but outsped by Persian, Dugtrio, Electrode, and the rare Aerodactyl which can all present x problems
- Dugtrio immune to TWave
- Is included on near every team, does de facto pair with Tentacruel due to its outspeed and threats towards Art, Dragonite, Gyarados, etc. Bulky Waters in Dewgong, Omastar, and Vaporeon team well with Kadabra for similar reasons.[SET]

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Substitute, Rest, Counter, Reflect
Checks and Counters
===================
**Opposing Kadabra**: The most reliable and consistent answer to a Kadabra is, ofc, itself and this should be mentioned to help establish how Kadabra is often utilized.
**Dugtrio**: A strong and aggressive switch-in, turns the tide of games.
**Normal-types**:
Considering combining these two (Normals and Articuno) into a "Hyper Beam Users" C&C since that fundamentally covers all of the Normal-types, Gyarados, Dragonite, and Articuno since they are all effective for primarily this issue besides their unique functions vs Kadabra
**Articuno**:
