#159720 If you just want to know which Pokémon are better than others, Smogon's tiers for the Gen 5 metagame are a good place to start. They also provide movesets, EV spreads, etc. if you're too lazy to think of them yourself. Of course, filter out any Pokémon that are unimplemented in Pixelmon.

That said, I won't be throwing random Pokémon at you, especially since you only have decided on one. However, what I will tell you is that it's all about team synergy, and you should be looking for Pokémon that can support Alakazam well and vice versa, such as Pokémon who can handle threats that Alakazam does not do so well against. You can then build on that with Pokémon who synergize well with your Alakazam supporter and Alakazam itself, and so on.
