Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, most especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high. The greatest disadvantage is that Psychic cannot affect Dark. However their immunity to Psychic can now be rendered useless with {{m|Miracle Eye}}, as well as the fact that most Psychic-types can now learn{{m|Signal Beam}}. Some others are able to learn {{m|Focus Blast}}. | Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]].

Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Latios, Latias, Starmie, Celebi, Chimecho, Medicham, Lugia). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves. | Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Latios, Latias, Starmie, Celebi, Chimecho, Medicham, Lugia).
