Why does the Everstone not work on Kadabra?
The Everstone is an item in the Pokémon series that prevents a Pokémon from evolving, but it does not work on Kadabra because it is a special case that was intentionally designed to evolve through trade even when holding an Everstone. This exception is likely due to the unique evolution mechanics of Kadabra, which evolves into Alakazam when traded, and the Everstone does not override this specific evolution method.
