Trivia

• Kinesis is a really oddly worded Ability. Very few Abilities that are activated when a Pokémon evolves are printed on the Pokémon that is being evolved from; usually they are printed on the Pokémon being evolved into. The usual exceptions to this are Abilities that affect if a Pokémon can evolve, which Kinesis does not. Kinesis's effect is likely templated in this manner to allow M Alakazam-EX to "have" an Ability when Mega Evolution Pokémon normally lack Abilities.

Origin

Kinesis is a move in the Pokémon games that Alakazam can learn.
