Psychic Terrain (Japanese: サイコフィールド Psycho Field) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation VII. It was TM91 in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and is TM138 in Generation IX.

Effect

Generation VII

Psychic Terrain creates terrain that envelops the field and replaces the background environment and any other terrain that is already in effect. The terrain fades after five turns.

This terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are on the ground and not in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move.

When a Pokémon with the Ability Psychic Surge enters battle, Psychic Terrain is automatically created. Upon successfully doing damage, Genesis Supernova creates Psychic Terrain on the field.

If a Pokémon is holding a Psychic Seed while the field is Psychic Terrain, it consumes the Psychic Seed and its Special Defense is increased by one stage (even if it is not otherwise affected by the terrain). If a Terrain Extender is held when Psychic Terrain is used, the terrain will last 8 turns instead of 5.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Psychic Terrain, the user's Special Attack stat rises by one stage.

Generation VIII onwards

Psychic Terrain now:

Psychic Terrain is automatically created when Max Mindstorm is used.

User First Used In Notes
  Tapu Lele extends its arms and creates a purple dome of energy that surrounds it and its opponent.
Tapu Lele (anime) Rising from the Ruins! Debut
  The eyes on Mr. Rime's belly emit a bright yellow glow that expands outward. A light purple dome of energy then emerges from Mr. Rime's body and surrounds the battlefield, increasing the power of Psychic-type moves. Also, as Mr. Rime moves across the battlefield, it leaves a pinkish trail of energy wherever it goes. Lastly, if the terrain receives enough damage, it will disappear.
