==Characteristics==<br />
Psychic-type Pokémon have been fairly popular since [[Generation I]]. Offensively speaking, they often have great Special Attack meaning they can deal damage quickly using STAB moves. Furthermore, Psychic-type Pokémon can often learn moves of other elemental types, to deal with a multitude of types, most especially their weaknesses of Dark, Ghost, and Bug. As a special sweeper, they are one of the best types in the game as a Psychic Pokémon's speed is also typically quite high. The greatest disadvantage is that Psychic cannot affect Dark. However their immunity to Psychic can now be rendered useless with {{m|Miracle Eye}}, as well as the fact that most Psychic-types can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}. Some others are able to learn {{m|Focus Blast}}. <br />
<br />
Their defensive capabilities are often weak, however, in spite of some Psychic-types featuring moves such as {{m|Recover}} (Alakazam, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Latios, Latias, Starmie, Celebi, Chimecho, Medicham, Lugia, Ranculus). Psychic-types often have excellent Special Defense, but very low Defense and HP. Because of this, they can often only survive Special-based hits, and can easily be defeated by one or two high-powered moves from a Pokémon with an average or above-average Attack stat. Psychic Pokémon also often fall to a single {{m|Crunch}} due to the high Attack of many Dark-type Pokémon. There are exceptions to this, such as {{p|Bronzong}} or {{p|Metagross}}, who have high defense due to their second type, {{t|Steel}}, and their lack of weakness to Dark-type moves.<br />
<br />
When used in contests, Psychic-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Tough Contest|Tough]].<br />
<br />
==Pokémon==<br />
In total, there are 68 Pokémon with the Psychic type, making it the fifth most common type, after Water, Normal, Flying and Grass, in that order.<br />

==Balance issues==<br />
Psychic-type Pokémon were at the center of a balance issue in the [[Generation I]] games.<ref> Sugimori, Ken ''"Psychic Pokémon seemed to dominate in the previous Pokémon game, so we needed to come up with new Pokémon and types to make Gold and Silver more balanced."'' Nintendo Power 134 (July 2000) p. 79 (retrieved August 16, 2010) </ref> The issue arose from the lack of an effective countermeasure against Psychic-types caused by the absence of any powerful {{type2|Bug}} moves (at the time the only elemental weaknesses of Psychic-types). <br />
<br />
The issue was rectified in later generations with the addition of {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}} types, an added weakness to {{type2|Ghost}} moves, and more powerful Bug- and Ghost-type moves.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Zen Headbutt}} and {{m|Heart Stamp}} are the only [[Physical move|physical]] Psychic-type moves.<br />
** As these moves were introduced after [[Generation III]], this makes Psychic the only former special type not to have any of its moves changed into physical moves. <br />
* Psychic is the most common type for [[legendary Pokémon]], with at least two Psychic-type legendaries introduced in each generation. <br />
* All legendary Pokémon except for {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Heatran}}, and {{p|Phione}} learn at least one Psychic-type move by leveling up.<br />
* Psychic is the only type that shares its name with {{m|Psychic|a move}} and a Trainer Class.<br />
* Despite the balance issue during [[Generation I]], it was not until Generation IV that {{p|Croagunk|a Pokémon}} and {{p|Toxicroak|its evolution}} would have a double weakness to Psychic moves were introduced.<br />
* There has been one Elite Four member or Gym Leader specializing in Psychic-type Pokémon in every generation.<br />
* Even though [[Aura]] and Psychic abilities aren't confirmed to be the same, one of [[Sabrina]]'s quotes in FireRed and LeafGreen suggests that Psychic abilities and Aura are at least similar to each other in description: "Psychic power isn't something that only a few people have. Everyone has psychic power. People just don't realize it."<br />
* All of Psychic's weaknesses (Bug, Ghost and Dark) are based on typical fears. This is most likely because fears can manipulate the mind.<br />
* A Pokémon cannot have a double resistance to Psychic without being a Psychic type itself.<br />
** However, a Psychic Pokémon also cannot have a double resistance to more than one type.<br />
* One of the [[Sinnoh]] starters was said to be Phychic at first.<br />
