Trivia

Origin

Super Psy's Japanese name is that of a Super powered form of Confusion, a move in the Pokémon games that Latios cannot learn. Freeze-Dry is a move later introduced in the Generation VI Pokémon games, but Latios cannot learn it. This card's e-Reader Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Sapphire.
