Psychic Pokémon

Psychic-type Pokémon generally have mental abilities associated with psychics in the real world, such as telekinesis, telepathy, and teleportation and mind appropriate abilities. Psychic-type Pokémon are generally very powerful when using attacks that use the Special (Red, Blue, and Yellow) or Special Attack (Gold, Silver, and after) stats.
