    Stock up on Ultra Balls. These are the best kind of Pokéballs. They have the highest rate of catching Pokémon (out of the standard three Pokéballs).

    Search until an Abra pops up. A wild Abra's only move is Teleport, so you have to catch it on your first try or it will Teleport out of the battle.

    I put my Abra in a daycare place to raise it and it's level 24. It didn't evolve like it says it's supposed to at level 16, why is that?

    The daycare seems to only give EXP, it will not evolve anything for you. My friend told me this when I tried to do the same with a Magikarp which evolves at level 20. I pulled him out at level 19 and had no problem once I trained it myself to level 20.
  • Question
    My Abra is at level 27, so why didn't it evolve at level 16?

    Check to see if it is holding an Everstone. If so, remove it and level it up.

    What are some other powerful psychic Pokémon?

    Gardevoir is a strong contender (and my personal favorite because of Synchronize). Metagross comes close too, though it's only available after you defeat the Elite 4. Grumpig is subpar, along with Chimecho. In Emerald, you're best off with Gardevoir or Metagross!
