Abra (JP) is a species of Pokémon from the series of the same name. It is a Psychic-type Pokémon that made its first appearance in the first generation games Red and Blue.
Physiology and Behaviour[]
Abra is a bipedal mammalian Pokémon that is primarily yellow. Its face is kite-shaped with a small, pale yellow snout and two short, pointed ears with pale yellow interiors. Its wide eyes are normally closed. Abra's body is segmented with black skin is visible between its joints and along its neck. It has two brown, pauldron-shaped extensions on its shoulders, as well as a brown, fauld-like piece around its chest. It has three digits on each hand and foot, but its fingers considerably shorter than its toes. Two of its toes face forward and one faces backward. Its tail is thick and long, with a brown band located near the tip.
Since Abra sleep so much, they expend very little energy and don't eat much. They will teleport into treetops when awaken to easily pick Berries. Abra sleep through most of the day, but should not be awoken unless in immediate danger.

Trivia[]
- Of all Psychic-type Pokémon, Abra has the lowest base Attack and is tied with Smoochum for the lowest base Defense.
- In Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, a wild Abra will Teleport away if the player tries to approach it from the front.
- Abra has the highest flee rate in Pokémon GO at 99%, meaning it is almost guaranteed to run away after breaking out of a Poké Ball. This is an homage to the core series, where it will use Teleport to escape on the first turn.
