Abra is a Pokémon that players will battle in One Star Raids in Pokémon GO, and it may be one of the easiest Psychic-type opponents to defeat. In traditional entries of the Pokémon series, Abra is often one of the most challenging Pokémon to capture because it will use the move Teleport. While this Psychic-type move causes Abra to flee a battle, it does not harm its opponents in those entries. However, in Pokémon GO, Abra has access to damaging moves that make it a formidable opponent.

Abra is the perfect Raid Pokémon to face for new or eager players to get their hands on an Alakazam or any trainer who needs more Abra Candy. Additionally, the evolved form of Abra, Kadabra, is a Raid boss in Pokémon GO, though the second form may be too challenging for solo players.

Fortunately, both Pokémon are the same singular Psychic-type, which means any team players use to counter Abra almost certainly be used to counter Kadabra and vice versa.
