Psywave (Japanese: サイコウェーブ Psychowave) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
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 X is a randomly generated number between 0 and 10:
(X + 5) × (User's level / 10)
The damage is always rounded down; however, Psywave will always deal at least 1 HP of damage.
In Generation I, the game will freeze if a level 1 Pokémon uses the move, though this error was fixed in later generations. Though it is a Psychic move, Psywave deals typeless damage, taking neither weakness nor resistance into account.
