Psychic-type Pokémon and moves have been very popular since [[Generation I]] due to their typically high {{stat|Special Attack}} and being resisted by only two types, including themselves. They are super-effective against the common Fighting and {{t|Poison}} types, the latter of which is otherwise strong defensively and the former of which tend to have low {{stat|Special Defense}}.

The biggest drawback of Psychic-type moves is that they do not affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, although this weakness can be removed with {{m|Miracle Eye}}. However, this is not always necessary as many Psychic-type Pokémon can learn moves super-effective against Dark types, such as strong Fighting type moves like {{m|Focus Blast}} and {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}, a powerful Fairy-type move. Psychics also have access to a wide range of Special moves from nearly every type, which can make their {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Bug}} weaknesses ineffective.
