{{Type|Psychic}}-[[Types|type]] [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] generally have mental abilities associated with [[wikipedia:Psychic|psychics]] in the real world, such as telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, mind appropriate abilities, etc. Psychic-type Pokémon are generally very powerful when using attacks that use the Special ({{Game name|Red}}, {{Game name|Blue}}, and {{Game name|Yellow}}) or Special Attack ({{Game name|Gold}}, {{Game name|Silver}}, and after) stats.
  
  +
The {{Nihongo|{{type|Psychic}} [[Types|type]]|エスパータイプ|Esupaa taipu}} is one of the eighteen [[Pokémon Types|Pokémon elemental types]].
   
  +
The {{Type|Psychic}} type is fairly common, and is very common among [[Legendary Pokémon]]. {{Type|Psychic}}-type Pokémon tend to be very intelligent. It's also interesting to note that, many {{Type|Psychic}}-type Pokémon are based/related to real scientific or mythological discoveries such as [[Deoxys]] and [[Alakazam]] which are based on DNA and psychokinesis respectively. Many {{Type|Psychic}}-type Pokémon also came from, are associated with, or have some connection to outer space (such as [[Starmie]], [[Elgyem]], [[Solgaleo]], [[Lunala]], and [[Gothitelle]]).

To attack, they use their mind power, thus many tend to have high special stats and low physical stats. In particular, every {{Type|Psychic}}-type attack introduced before Generation IV remained a special attack, with physical {{Type|Psychic}} attacks only being introduced from Generation IV onwards.

==Relations with other types ==
  +
*They're weak against the {{Type|Bug}} and {{Type|Ghost}} types and have no effect against the {{Type|Dark}} type because these represent fears, which can take over the mind and affect one's concentration, and of beings of different and hard to read psyches; insects have a much different mental process than vertebrates, and swarms of insects can kill concentration, where ghosts are of a different frequency of existence and can annoy or play pranks, and unusual and twisted "dark" minds can be unpredictable and incomprehensible and evil can easily corrupt the mind.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Fighting}} type because there are sayings regarding the mind's superiority over the body ("Brain beats Brawn", "Mind over Matter," etc.). In addition, the brain also regulates all muscle functions. Without the brain, the body cannot properly function. And skilled masterminds can overpower even the strongest fighters; within the realm of fighting, especially street fighting, it is often considered key to read the opponent and react appropriately in turn with how one defends themselves, regardless of strength.
  +
*They're strong against the {{Type|Poison}} type because psychic concentration can at times ignore the body's physical pain. Also, while a person's body can be poisoned, their mind cannot (at least not in the literal sense). In addition to this, meditation expels impurities from the mind. This may also be because going into a medical field requires a lot of education and knowledge.
  +
*The {{Type|Steel}} type resists them because some of them are based on machines, which don't have thoughts or feelings. As a whole they lack any mental capacity whatsoever, so thus are highly insusceptible to psychic powers. It may also be a play on the belief that tin foil hats can protect one's mind from psychic abilities such as mind reading or control.
  +
*They resist themselves because psychic people have trouble reading other psychics' minds.
  +
  +
==Trivia==
  +
*Along with the {{Type|Water}} and {{type|Flying}} types, the {{Type|Psychic}} type is the third type has been paired up with every type (excluding types such as [[??? type]] and [[Shadow type]]).

Type Psychic
Type Psychic HOME

The Psychic type (Japanese: エスパータイプ, Hepburn: Esupaa taipu) is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.

The Psychic type is fairly common, and is very common among Legendary Pokémon. Psychic-type Pokémon tend to be very intelligent. It's also interesting to note that, many Psychic-type Pokémon are based/related to real scientific or mythological discoveries such as Deoxys and Alakazam which are based on DNA and psychokinesis respectively. Many Psychic-type Pokémon also came from, are associated with, or have some connection to outer space (such as Starmie, Elgyem, Solgaleo, Lunala, and Gothitelle).

To attack, they use their mind power, thus many tend to have high special stats and low physical stats. In particular, every Psychic-type attack introduced before Generation IV remained a special attack, with physical Psychic attacks only being introduced from Generation IV onwards.

Famous Psychic-type Pokémon Trainers include Sabrina, the sixth Gym Leader in Kanto; Will, the first member of the Johto Elite Four; Tate and Liza, the seventh Gym Leaders in Hoenn; Lucian, the fourth member of the Sinnoh Elite Four; Caitlin, a member of the Unova Elite Four; and Olympia, the seventh Gym Leader in Kalos, and Tulip, one of the Gym Leaders of Paldea.

Relations with other types

  • They're weak against the Bug and Ghost types and have no effect against the Dark type because these represent fears, which can take over the mind and affect one's concentration, and of beings of different and hard to read psyches; insects have a much different mental process than vertebrates, and swarms of insects can kill concentration, where ghosts are of a different frequency of existence and can annoy or play pranks, and unusual and twisted "dark" minds can be unpredictable and incomprehensible and evil can easily corrupt the mind.
  • They're strong against the Fighting type because there are sayings regarding the mind's superiority over the body ("Brain beats Brawn", "Mind over Matter," etc.). In addition, the brain also regulates all muscle functions. Without the brain, the body cannot properly function. And skilled masterminds can overpower even the strongest fighters; within the realm of fighting, especially street fighting, it is often considered key to read the opponent and react appropriately in turn with how one defends themselves, regardless of strength.
  • They're strong against the Poison type because psychic concentration can at times ignore the body's physical pain. Also, while a person's body can be poisoned, their mind cannot (at least not in the literal sense). In addition to this, meditation expels impurities from the mind. This may also be because going into a medical field requires a lot of education and knowledge.
  • The Steel type resists them because some of them are based on machines, which don't have thoughts or feelings. As a whole they lack any mental capacity whatsoever, so thus are highly insusceptible to psychic powers. It may also be a play on the belief that tin foil hats can protect one's mind from psychic abilities such as mind reading or control.
  • They resist themselves because psychic people have trouble reading other psychics' minds.
