Psychic can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining an extra appeal point if any of the moves Calm Mind, Confusion, or Kinesis was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing certain moves (Confusion, Future Sight, Kinesis, and Teleport) to have their base appeal points doubled if used in the next turn.
