A Psychic (Japanese: サイキッカー Psychicer) is a type of Pokémon Trainer that first debuted in the Generation I games. They were originally only male, but in Generation III, female Psychics started to appear. In Generation VI, the trainer class once again reverts to all male, having found a female counterpart in Hex Maniacs. They appear as young men or young women levitating Poké Balls with their psychokinetic powers.

When paired with Black Belts in Double Battles, they are called Brains & Brawns.

They specialize in Psychic-type Pokémon and also in Ghost-type Pokémon from Generation IV onward.

A Psychic in the anime

A number of Psychics were seen in the Saffron Gym in Abra and the Psychic Showdown.

Another Psychic appeared much later in Glory Blaze! as one of the participants of the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition. There, he was partnered with a Black Belt and faced off against Ash and Paul in the quarterfinals. Despite the two working well as a team, they were unable to contend against the experienced Trainers and were knocked out.

A Psychic named Ricky appeared in Climbing the Tower of Success!. He is based on a Psychic named Bryce, who appeared in the Celestial Tower in the games.

A large number of Psychics who train under Olympia appeared in Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!. They included Carrie and Charlene.

Metagross
Psychic's Metagross
Debut Glory Blaze!

The Psychic used his Metagross against Ash's Turtwig and Paul's Chimchar, partnering it up with the Black Belt's Zangoose. The Psychic trained his Metagross in order to be able to use quick attacks, as well as teaching it Magnet Rise in order to protect it from Ground-type moves. Despite its power and speed, Metagross was defeated by Chimchar's Flamethrower after it had increased its fire-power thanks to Zangoose's Fire Blast.

Metagross's known moves are Bullet Punch, Magnet Rise, and Psychic.
