Battle notes

  • Abra's Psychic typing is best attacked with Bug (2x), Ghost (2x), Dark (2x). Start with those attacking types when choosing moves or counter Pokémon.
  • Avoid relying on common Fighting, Psychic attacks unless they have unusually high power or a secondary purpose, because Abra resists or ignores those matchups.
  • This guide uses the modern Gen 6+ type chart only. Abilities, held items, Terastallization, weather, fields, and special move rules can still change real battle outcomes.

Best counter types
