Why Psychic Types Excel

Psychic type Pokémon dominated early generations and remain formidable threats today. With naturally high Special Attack and Speed stats, they can sweep teams before opponents react. Psychic types resist Fighting and Psychic moves while learning powerful STAB moves like Psychic, Psyshock, and Future Sight. Their access to support moves like Light Screen, Reflect, and Trick Room makes them valuable team players.
