On Smogon's Movedex:

Psywave (Japanese: サイコウェーブ Psycho Wave) is a damage-dealing Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM46 in Generation I. In Generation II, it was the signature move of Misdreavus, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via breeding.

Effect

Generation I

Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 1 damage and 1.5× the user's level.

In a link battle, the damage dealt varies between 1 damage and 1.5× the user's level on the user's side, and between 0 damage and 1.5× the user's level on its opponent's side in a link battle. As a result, if a 0 is generated in a link battle, it causes the games to desynchronize as the target will receive 0 damage on the opponent's game, while the user's side will keep generating pseudorandom numbers until it produces a number between 1 and 1.5× the user's level. Additionally, the game will freeze if a Level 0, 1, or 171 Pokémon uses the move, though Pokémon cannot normally be obtained at these levels without the use of glitches.

In Pokémon Stadium (English), Psywave always deals at least 1 damage.

Psywave has an accuracy of 80%

Generation II

Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 1 HP and 1.5× the user's level. The damage is always rounded down; however, Psywave will always deal at least 1 HP of damage.

Psywave does not take weaknesses or resistances into account; however, type immunity is not ignored.

Generations III and IV

Psywave inflicts damage equal to $\left\lfloor {\frac {Level_{user}\times (10r+50)}{100}}\right\rfloor$ , where r is a random number from 0 to 10. However, if this calculation produces a value of 0, Psywave deals 1 HP of damage instead.

Psywave can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Calm Mind was used in the previous turn.

Generation V

Psywave inflicts damage equal to $\left\lfloor {\frac {Level_{user}\times (r+50)}{100}}\right\rfloor$ , where r is a random number from 0 to 100. However, if this calculation produces a value of 0, Psywave deals 1 HP of damage instead.

Generations VI and VII

Psywave's accuracy is now 100% instead of 80%.

Generation VIII onwards

Psywave cannot be selected in a battle.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Psywave deals a variable amount of damage depending on the user's level. In the Rescue Team and Explorers series, the move will deal damage between 1/2 and 383/256 (~1.49×) of the user's level. It is affected by type matchup and STAB unlike in the main series. Before accounting for type matchup and STAB, the move is guaranteed to deal at least 1 HP of damage, but no more than 199 (although that number is impossible to achieve under normal gameplay).

In Super Mystery Dungeon, Psywave is no longer affected by type matchup. The move will deal damage approximately between 1 HP damage to 1.5× the user's level.

 ==Effect==
-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 <code>X</code> is a randomly generated number between 0 and 10:
+===Generation I===
+Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 1 damage and 1.5× the user's level.
+In a link battle, the damage dealt varies between 1 damage and 1.5× the user's level on the user's side, and between 0 damage and 1.5× the user's level on its opponent's side in a link battle. As a result, if a 0 is [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|generated]] in a link battle, it causes [[List of battle glitches  (Generation I)#Psywave desynchronization|the games to desynchronize]] as the target will receive 0 damage on the opponent's game, while the user's side will keep generating pseudorandom numbers until it produces a number between 1 and 1.5× the user's level. Additionally, [[List of battle glitches (Generation_I)#Psywave infinite loop|the game will freeze]] if a Level 0, 1, or 171 Pokémon uses the move, though Pokémon cannot normally be obtained at these levels without the use of glitches.
+In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)]], Psywave always deals at least 1 damage.
+Psywave has an accuracy of 80%
+===Generation II===
+Psywave inflicts a random amount of damage, varying between 1 [[HP]] and 1.5× the user's level. The damage is always rounded down; however, Psywave will always deal at least 1 HP of damage.
+Psywave does not take weaknesses or resistances into account; however, type immunity is not ignored.
+===Generations III and IV===
+Psywave inflicts damage equal to <math>\left\lfloor \frac{Level_{user} \times (10r + 50)}{100} \right\rfloor</math>, where r is a random number from 0 to 10. However, if this calculation produces a value of 0, Psywave deals 1 HP of damage instead.
- (X + 5) × (User's level / 10)
+Psywave can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Calm Mind}} was used in the previous turn.
-The damage is always rounded down; however, Psywave will always deal at least 1 {{stat|HP}} of damage.
+===Generation V===
+Psywave inflicts damage equal to <math>\left\lfloor \frac{Level_{user} \times (r+50)}{100} \right\rfloor</math>, where r is a random number from 0 to 100. However, if this calculation produces a value of 0, Psywave deals 1 HP of damage instead.
-In Generation I, the game will freeze if a level 1 Pokémon uses the move, though this error is only possible with external modification and was fixed in later generations.
+===Generations VI and VII===
+Psywave's [[accuracy]] is now 100% instead of 80%.
-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}}.
+===Generation VIII onwards===
+Psywave cannot be selected in a battle.

+Psywave deals a variable amount of damage depending on the user's level. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the move will deal damage between 1/2 and 383/256 (~1.49×) of the user's level. It is affected by type matchup and STAB unlike in the main series. Before accounting for type matchup and STAB, the move is guaranteed to deal at least 1 HP of damage, but no more than 199 (although that number is impossible to achieve under normal gameplay).
+In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Psywave is no longer affected by type matchup. The move will deal damage approximately between 1 HP damage to 1.5× the user's level.
