152 Pokemon

Psychic-type Pokemon GO is the home of the strongest pure attacker in the game: Mewtwo. Psychic attackers handle Fighting and Poison — the latter being especially relevant in Master League where Naganadel and Galarian Slowking appear. Psychic types include legendary heavyweights Mewtwo, Lugia, Latios, Latias, Cresselia, Necrozma, and the Tapu guardians, plus mythicals Mew, Celebi (Grass/Psychic), Jirachi (Steel/Psychic), Deoxys (in multiple formes), Hoopa, Meloetta, and Marshadow. Signature Psychic moves include Psychic, Psystrike (Mewtwo exclusive), Psyshock, Future Sight, Confusion, and Zen Headbutt. Psychic types are weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark, all of which are common attacking types in raids.

Best Psychic-Type Attackers in Pokemon GO

The top Psychic attackers are Shadow Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Mewtwo X, Mewtwo, and Hoopa Unbound (Psychic/Dark). Shadow Mewtwo with Confusion and Psystrike has the highest Psychic DPS in the game and is widely considered the best raid attacker overall. Mega Mewtwo Y boosts Psychic-type damage during raids. Mega Alakazam with Confusion and Psychic is a strong budget Mega. Espeon (Psychic) and Latios (Dragon/Psychic) flex into Psychic raids. Mega Latios and Mega Latias bring dual Dragon/Psychic utility. Galarian Slowking (Poison/Psychic) and Necrozma flex into specialty roles.

Psychic Type in PvP & GO Battle League

Psychic types are PvP staples but not always for their Psychic typing. Cresselia with Psycho Cut and Grass Knot is a long-standing Great and Ultra League pick. Galarian Slowking with Confusion and Future Sight or Sludge Wave is a top Master League pick. Espeon with Confusion and Future Sight punishes Fighting cores. Latios, Latias, Lugia, and Mewtwo flex into Master League. Tapu Lele (Psychic/Fairy), Tapu Fini (Water/Fairy), and Reuniclus (Psychic) bring unique typings to limited cups. Medicham (Fighting/Psychic) sees consistent Great League play. Galarian Articuno (Psychic/Flying) is a Daily Adventure Incense rarity that surprises in Ultra League.

Psychic Strengths, Weaknesses & Strategy

Psychic attackers shine against Fighting (Conkeldurr, Mega Lucario, Crowned Zacian) and Poison (Roserade, Mega Beedrill, Toxicroak). They are 1.6× weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark — and Galarian Articuno (Psychic/Flying) takes 4× damage from Rock. Windy weather boosts Psychic by 1.2× alongside Dragon and Flying. Avoid Psychic attackers against Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Yveltal, Origin Forme Giratina, Pinsir, Volcarona, and Genesect. Mewtwo specifically is the gold standard universal raid attacker — its access to Confusion plus Psystrike, Shadow Ball, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt as legacy moves makes it one of the most flexible Pokemon to power up in the entire game.

Notable Psychic Pokemon & Community Day Highlights

Psychic Community Days have included Abra → Alakazam with Counter, Ralts → Gardevoir with Synchronoise, Gothita → Gothitelle, Espurr → Meowstic, and various Mythical events. Mewtwo received a Raid Day in 2023 that unlocked the legacy Psystrike for new captures. Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y debuted in 2025 alongside the Hoenn weather expansion. Mega Latios and Mega Latias appear regularly in Mega Raid rotations during eon-themed events. Galarian Slowking added Future Sight as a unique Psychic charged move. Necrozma debuted in 2024 with its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings fused forms. Hoopa Unbound (Psychic/Dark) is Elite-Raid exclusive.

Psychic Type — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Psychic-type attacker in Pokemon GO?
Shadow Mewtwo with Confusion and Psystrike is the strongest Psychic attacker in the game and one of the best raid attackers overall. Mega Mewtwo Y is the top Mega-tier Psychic option. For non-Shadow rosters, regular Mewtwo with Psystrike or Mega Alakazam are excellent alternatives.
Is Mewtwo still the best raid attacker in 2026?
Yes. Mewtwo remains the gold standard generalist raid attacker thanks to its access to Psystrike (Psychic), Shadow Ball (Ghost), Ice Beam (Ice), Thunderbolt (Electric), and Focus Blast (Fighting) as legacy charged moves. A single fully-invested Mewtwo can be repurposed across half a dozen different raid scenarios with Elite TMs.
What are Psychic types weak to?
Psychic types take 1.6× damage from Bug, Ghost, and Dark moves. Galarian Articuno (Psychic/Flying) takes 4× from Rock. Common counters include Mega Gengar, Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Yveltal, Origin Forme Giratina, Pinsir, Volcarona, and Genesect.
Why is Future Sight so good in PvP?
Future Sight is a high-damage Psychic charged move that hits hard against Fighting and Poison. Galarian Slowking specifically uses Future Sight as a low-cost charged move that bypasses common shield strategies. It is one of the defining moves of the modern Master League meta.
What weather boosts Psychic-type moves?
Windy weather boosts Psychic-type moves by 1.2× alongside Flying and Dragon. Windy windows are the optimal time to grind Mewtwo raids, run Mega Mewtwo Y in raids, and power-grind Abra, Ralts, and Espurr Community Days.
