Psychic Fangs (Japanese: サイコファング Psycho Fang) is a damage-dealing Psychic-type move introduced in Generation VII. Prior to Generation VIII, it was the signature move of Bruxish, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding. It was TR97 in Generation VIII, and is TM063 in Generation IX.

Effect

Psychic Fangs removes Light Screen, Reflect, and Aurora Veil from the target's side of the field, then inflicts damage. It will not remove Light Screen, Reflect, or Aurora Veil if Psychic Fangs misses or the target is immune to or protected from Psychic Fangs.
