I like how that there's just so many ways to play with it.
As powerful as Alakazam is, it'll fall if it doesn't KO it in the first turn. One bit can also rely on luck, say like missing with focus blast. Stuff with sturdy/focus sash, priority moves (especially prankster sets, thunder wave, etc), or something activating/using trick room to screw it over.
Speaking of prankster, using that with encore will almost always screw anything over aside from stuff that has magic bounce and stuff like that.
I really annoyed people with it ^^. If you can catch stuff using buffs like substitutes or calm mind, you can expect them to switch out when encored or if it's attacking with encored psychic or focus blast, you can switch into a dark or ghost type and potentially just kill them with sucker punch or pursuit.
