Trivia

  • Psychic is the only move that shares exactly the same name as its type. If affixes were disregarded, then Fly would share the same name as its type. This is not present in the Japanese version of the games, where Esper is the type and Psychokinesis is the move.
  • So far, only Psyduck is able to learn Psychic via breeding.
  • Apart from Gorebyss, the only Pokémon that can learn Psychic via level up that do not receive STAB for it are part Template:Type2.
