Kadabra and its earlier evolution, Abra, can be found cutting about Lumiose City quite early on in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. If you're in need of a powerful Psychic-type Pokémon on your team, then catching and evolving Kadabra into Alakazam is well worth doing as soon as you can in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

That said, evolving Kadabra into Alakazam isn't as straight-forward as leveling them up. You're going to need to find a trade partner! To help you out with that, here's how to evolve Kadabra in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

How to evolve Kadabra in Pokémon Legends Z-A

Alternatively, you can catch an Abra earlier on in the game in Wild Zone 5 during either day or night. They're specifically found on the rooftops of this zone. Abra will evolve into Kadabra at Level 16.

Evolving Kadabra into Alakazam

To then evolve your Kadabra into an Alakazam, you'll need to take part in a Trade Evolution. This means trading your beloved Kadabra with a friend, and upon trading, they'll finally evolve. Your trade partner will then need to send them back to you if you wish to keep them.

You can use Trade Codes to quickly trade with another player if need be, but as always, be cautious when trading your Pokémon online with strangers.
