'''Psyshock''' (Japanese: '''サイコショック''' ''Psycho Shock'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It has been [[TM03]] since Generation V.
'''Psyshock''' (Japanese: '''サイコショック''' ''Psycho Shock'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is [[TM03]] from Generation V to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[TR25]] in [[Generation VIII]], and [[TM054]] in [[Generation IX]].


==Effect==
==Effect==
Psyshock inflicts [[physical move|physical]] damage. Despite being classified as a [[special move]], this move calculates damage using the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} and the opponent's {{stat|Defense}} stat (similar to {{m|Psystrike}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).
{{MoveResearch|Interaction with Defense or Special Defense change from stat stage and others (stat-increasing [[:Category:Stat increasing Abilities|Abilities]] and [[:Category:Stat-increasing items|items]]).}}
 
Psyshock inflicts damage. Psyshock uses the target's {{stat|Defense}} instead of its {{stat|Special Defense}} to calculate damage. Otherwise, it is considered a special move: it uses the user's {{stat|Special Attack}}, activates {{m|Mirror Coat}} and [[Maranga Berry]] (not {{m|Counter}} or [[Kee Berry]]), has its damage reduced by {{m|Light Screen}} (not {{m|Reflect}}), etc.
Despite targeting the opponent's Defense stat, the move's damage is unaffected by {{m|Reflect}} and it will not activate {{m|Counter}}; instead, it is affected by {{m|Light Screen}} and activates {{m|Mirror Coat}}.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Psyshock is {{p|Espeon}}'s first move and {{p|Gardevoir}}'s second move.
 
Espeon can obtain the move by evolving from {{p|Eevee}} at level 4 and upgrading {{m|Swift}} into it instead of {{m|Stored Power}}. The user materializes psychic projectiles and hurls them at a designated location; dealing damage to enemies hit by the projectiles and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. Orbs start in a horizontal line perpendicular to the user's facing. Orbs continue to fly in the direction once past the target location up until the maximum range of the move. Targets hit by all five projectiles are stunned. When one enemy is hit by a projectile, subsequent projectiles deal 70% less damage. At level 10, the projectiles become faster.
 
Gardevoir can obtain the move by evolving into {{p|Kirlia}} at level 5 and upgrading {{m|Teleport}} into it instead of {{m|Future Sight}}. The user channels three attacks at the targeted area, damaging enemies. Psyshock's cooldown is reduced each time it hits an enemy. At level 11, each hit of Psyshock also increases the damage of the next hit.

Badly startles the last Pokémon to act before the user.

Psyshock (Japanese: サイコショック Psycho Shock) is a damage-dealing Psychic-type move introduced in Generation V. It is TM03 from Generation V to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, TR25 in Generation VIII, and TM054 in Generation IX.

Effect

151Mew.png This move effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Interaction with Defense or Special Defense change from stat stage and others (stat-increasing Abilities and items).
You can discuss this on the talk page.

Psyshock inflicts damage. Psyshock uses the target's Defense instead of its Special Defense to calculate damage. Otherwise, it is considered a special move: it uses the user's Special Attack, activates Mirror Coat and Maranga Berry (not Counter or Kee Berry), has its damage reduced by Light Screen (not Reflect), etc.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Psyshock is Espeon's first move and Gardevoir's second move.

Espeon can obtain the move by evolving from Eevee at level 4 and upgrading Swift into it instead of Stored Power. The user materializes psychic projectiles and hurls them at a designated location; dealing damage to enemies hit by the projectiles and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. Orbs start in a horizontal line perpendicular to the user's facing. Orbs continue to fly in the direction once past the target location up until the maximum range of the move. Targets hit by all five projectiles are stunned. When one enemy is hit by a projectile, subsequent projectiles deal 70% less damage. At level 10, the projectiles become faster.

Gardevoir can obtain the move by evolving into Kirlia at level 5 and upgrading Teleport into it instead of Future Sight. The user channels three attacks at the targeted area, damaging enemies. Psyshock's cooldown is reduced each time it hits an enemy. At level 11, each hit of Psyshock also increases the damage of the next hit.

Gothita Gothita jumps into the air and puts its arms out in front of it. It then forms a mass of thick light blue, blue, and purple energy and fires it at the opponent. When it hits the opponent, it pushes it back and explodes. Sometimes, the black tuft of hair on its head twitches and glows light purple before using the attack. When this happens, its body flashes light blue, blue, and purple before forming the mass of energy.

Trivia

  • Psyshock is an attack that has appeared as the translated name of ねんりき Nenriki on many English trading cards in the Pokémon Trading Card Game since Generation I (starting with Base Set Abra), long before its actualization as a move in Generation V. Its effect induces paralysis.
  • Out of the three moves that deal physical damage despite being special-based, Psyshock is the only one that is not the signature move of a Legendary Pokémon.
  • Psyshock has the same description text as Psystrike.
  • In Conquest, this move has the same description as in Generation V of the core series, including the mention of it dealing physical damage. However, the split of physical and special damage does not exist in Conquest - there is only one attack stat and one defense stat, so all damage is in the same, single category.
