what is psychic strong against

Psychic-type attacks are strong against Fighting and Poison types in Pokémon games.

Quick Scoop: What is Psychic strong against?

When players ask “what is Psychic strong against,” they normally mean: which types take super-effective damage from Psychic-type moves?

• Psychic moves are super effective vs. Fighting Pokémon.

• Psychic moves are also super effective vs. Poison Pokémon.

That’s it: in the standard type chart, Psychic only hits these two types for extra damage.

Why these types?

Many fans like the “mind over matter” explanation:

• The mind (Psychic) overcomes physical strength (Fighting).

• A sharpened mind can anticipate or counteract Poison , symbolizing outsmarting toxins or those who use them.

Simple example

• A Psychic move (like Psychic or Psyshock) used on a Machamp (Fighting) or Gengar (Poison/Ghost) will deal boosted damage to the Fighting/Poison part of their typing.
