3. Trade Kadabra to evolve it into Alakazam
Kadabra evolves into Alakazam when traded; there is no level requirement listed for this evolution. The evolution chain is listed by RotomLabs, and Serebii lists FireRed’s method as “Evolve Kadabra.”
- Connect with another compatible game and trade Kadabra to it.
- Let the trade complete; Kadabra evolves into Alakazam as part of the trade.
- If you want to keep Alakazam in your FireRed party, ask the other player to trade it back.
The game references establish that trading is required, but do not specify a connection setup that works for every hardware configuration or release. Check compatibility and available trading options for the version and hardware you are using before arranging the trade.
