What it does
Once during your turn, instead of Alakazam's normal attack, you may choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon's attacks. Alakazam copies that attack including its Energy costs and anything else required in order to use that attack, such as discarding Energy cards. (No matter what type that Pokémon is, Alakazam's type is still Psychic.) This power can't be used if Alakazam is affected by a Special Condition.
If Alakazam and the Defending Pokémon don't have the same number of Energy cards attached to them, this attack's base damage is 20 instead of 80.

Where it came from
The Alakazam card from the Expedition Base Set was released in 2002 as part of the first expansion in the e-Card Series for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set marked a significant shift in design, introducing the e-Reader technology which allowed players to scan the dot-code on the side of the cards to access digital mini-games or Pokédex entries on the Game Boy Advance.
The card features artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi, who utilized the distinctive, computer-generated style common in the early 2000s era of the franchise. As a holo-rare card with the number 1/165, it held a place of prominence in the set, signaling the start of the Expedition collection. It was well-received by collectors at the time for its updated aesthetic and the technical innovation of the e-Reader integration.
