On Smogon's Movedex: Generation V Generation VI Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

Psyshock (Japanese:サイコショックPsycho Shock) is a damage-dealingPsychic-typemove introduced inGeneration V.

It is:

• It isTM03 from Generation V toPokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
• TR25 inPokémon Sword and Shield.
• TM054 inPokémon Scarlet and Violet.
• TM003 inPokémon Legends: Z-A.

Effect

This move effect may be in need of research. Reason:Check whether this move takes into account stat modifiers inconsistently, as withFoul Play andBody Press:stat stage modifiers of the target's Defense andnon-stage stat modifiers of its Special Defense. You candiscuss this on the talk page.

Psyshock inflicts damage. Psyshock uses the target'sDefense instead of itsSpecial Defense to calculate damage. Otherwise, it is considered a special move: it uses the user'sSpecial Attack, activatesMirror Coat andMaranga Berry (notCounter orKee Berry), has its damage reduced byLight Screen (notReflect), etc. It does not activateToxic Debris.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Psyshock isEspeon's first move andGardevoir's second move.

Espeon can obtain the move by evolving fromEevee at level 4 and upgradingSwift into it instead ofStored 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 intoKirlia at level 5 and upgradingTeleport into it instead ofFuture 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.

Trivia

• Psyshock is an attack that has appeared as the translated name ofねんりきNenriki on many English trading cards in thePokémon Trading Card Game sinceGeneration I (starting withBase SetAbra), long before its actualization as a move inGeneration V. Its effect induces paralysis.
  • Since the introduction of Psyshock, ねんりきNenriki was translated as Psy Bolt, to match ちょうねんりきChōnenriki being translated as Super Psy Bolt.
• Out of thethreemoves that deal physical damage despite being special-based, Psyshock is the only one that is not asignature move.
• Psyshock has the same description text asPsystrike.
• InConquest, this move has the same description as inGeneration 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.
