'''Psywave''' (Japanese: '''サイコウェーブ''' ''Psycho Wave'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM46]] in Generation I. In [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Misdreavus}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 1 damage and 1.5× the user's level.

In a link battle, the damage dealt varies between 1 damage and 1.5× the user's level on the user's side, and between 0 damage and 1.5× the user's level on its opponent's side in a link battle. As a result, if a 0 is [[Pseudorandom number generation|generated]] in a link battle, it causes [[List of battle glitches (Generation I)#Psywave desynchronization|the games to desynchronize]] as the target will receive 0 damage on the opponent's game, while the user's side will keep generating pseudorandom numbers until it produces a number between 1 and 1.5× the user's level. Additionally, [[List of battle glitches (Generation_I)#Psywave infinite loop|the game will freeze]] if a Level 0, 1, or 171 Pokémon uses the move, though Pokémon cannot normally be obtained at these levels without the use of glitches.

In [[Pokémon Stadium]], Psywave always deals at least 1 damage.

 

 

Psywave inflicts damage equal to <math>\left\lfloor \frac{Level_{user} \times (10r + 50)}{100} \right\rfloor</math>, where r is a random number from 0 to 10. However, if this calculation produces a value of 0, Psywave deals 1 HP of damage instead.

 

Psywave can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Calm Mind}} was used in the previous turn.

 

Psywave inflicts damage equal to <math>\left\lfloor \frac{Level_{user} \times (r+50)}{100} \right\rfloor</math>, where r is a random number from 0 to 100. However, if this calculation produces a value of 0, Psywave deals 1 HP of damage instead.

===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===

Psywave deals a variable amount of damage depending on the user's level. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the move will deal damage between 1/2 and 383/256 (~1.49×) of the user's level. It is affected by type matchup and STAB unlike in the main series. Before accounting for type matchup and STAB, the move is guaranteed to deal at least 1 HP of damage, but no more than 199 (although that number is impossible to achieve under normal gameplay).

In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Psywave is no longer affected by type matchup. The move will deal damage approximately between 1 HP damage to 1.5× the user's level.
