The damage is always rounded down; however, Psywave will always deal at least 1 {{stat|HP}} of damage.


Though it is a Psychic move, Psywave deals typeless damage, taking neither weakness nor resistance into account, and not being affected by {{STAB}}, though it still cannot hit {{type|Dark}} Pokémon without using {{m|Miracle Eye}}.
Although Psywave is a Psychic-type move, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. It still cannot hit {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, however, except by using {{m|Miracle Eye}}.

Psywave (Japanese: サイコウェーブ Psychowave) is a damage-dealing Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM46 in Generation I. It was the signature move of Misdreavus in Generation II.

Effect

Generation I

Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 1 damage and 1.5× the user's level on the player's side, and between 0 damage and 1.5× the user's level on the opponent's side in a Link battle. If a 0 is generated by the PRNG, it causes the games to desync immediately as the target will receive 0 damage on the opponent's game, while the user's side will keep generating pseudo-random numbers until one between 1 and (User's Level ×1.5) is produced. Additionally, the game will freeze if a Level 0, 1, or 171 Pokémon uses the move, though this error is only possible with external modification or through the use of other glitches and was fixed in later generations.

Generations II to V

Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 0.5× and 1.5× the user's level. The damage can be calculated using the following formula, where X is a randomly generated number between 0 and 1:

(X + 0.5) × User's level

The damage is always rounded down; however, Psywave will always deal at least 1 HP of damage.

Although Psywave is a Psychic-type move, its type does not alter the amount of damage it inflicts. It still cannot hit Dark-type Pokémon, however, except by using Miracle Eye.

Generation VI

Psywave's accuracy is changed from 80% to 100%.
