Psyshock (move): Difference between revisions

gameimagewidth=300 |

Psyshock inflicts [[physical move|physical]] damage. Despite being classified as a [[special move]], this move calculates damage using the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} and the opponent's {{stat|Defense}} stat (similar to {{m|Psystrike}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

 

Despite targeting the opponent's Defense stat, the move's damage is unaffected by {{m|Reflect}} and, instead, affected by {{m|Light Screen}}.

* Out of the {{m|Psystrike|three}} {{m|Secret Sword|moves}} that deal physical damage despite being special-based, Psyshock is the only one that is not the [[signature move]] of a {{p|Mewtwo|Legendary}} {{p|Keldeo|Pokémon}}.
