Why Is There Not a Kadabra in Pokemon TCG?
Kadabra's absence from the Pokemon TCG is all due to a copyright issue with a magician. He claimed Kadabra was a copy of his act, leading to a halt in Kadabra's appearances in the card game. So, it's not about the game's mechanics or balance but a real-world legal hiccup.

The absence of Kadabra from the Pokemon Trading Card Game dates back to a legal dispute in the late '90s. A famous magician felt that Kadabra, known for its psychic abilities and spoon-bending, was too similar to his persona and infringed on his public image and trademark. As a result, an agreement was reached that Kadabra would not be used in new Pokemon TCG cards, which is why you haven't seen this psychic Pokemon in the card game for quite some time.
tbh always thought Kadabra was too OP for TCG anyway, maybe it's for the best ?♂️
