In Pokémon UNITE, Psycho Cut is {{p|Absol}}'s second move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgrading {{m|Slash}} into it instead of {{m|Sucker Punch}}. The user throws a wide slash in front, damaging, debuffing, and slowing the Pokémon hit. This debuff applies extra damage for the next 3 times the user hits the debuffed Pokémon with an auto attack or a Psycho Cut. At level 13, the user's movement speed is increased near debuffed enemies.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Psycho Cut is Absol's second move. It is obtained by reaching level 7 and upgrading Slash into it instead of Sucker Punch. The user throws a wide slash in front, damaging, debuffing, and slowing the Pokémon hit. This debuff applies extra damage for the next 3 times the user hits the debuffed Pokémon with an auto attack or a Psycho Cut. At level 13, the user's movement speed is increased near debuffed enemies.
