The Psychic type contains most {{t|Psychic}}-, {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon found in the main series video games. For example, {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Garbodor}} are all Psychic types in the TCG.

Prior to the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set, the Psychic type did not contain any {{type|Poison}} Pokémon found in the main series video games. Rather, {{type|Poison}} were {{tcg|Grass}} type cards.  
From the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set until the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} set, {{type|Poison}} Pokémon were grouped in with the Psychic type. For example, any {{p|Garbodor}} cards printed during this time would have been Psychic types in the TCG. Previously, Poison types were grouped in with {{TCG|Grass}}, and they are now grouped in with {{TCG|Darkness}}.


Starting with {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, Pokémon that are {{type|Fairy}} in the video games will be Psychic type and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon are now grouped in with {{tcg|Darkness}}.
Additionally, starting in Sword & Shield, {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon are now grouped in with the Psychic type instead of having [[Fairy (TCG)|their own energy type]]. For example, {{p|Alcremie}} is a Psychic type in the TCG.
