what's strong against psychic

Bug, Ghost, and Dark are strong against Psychic in Pokémon games, with Dark also being immune to Psychic attacks.

Type advantages vs Psychic

• Psychic-type Pokémon are weak to Bug , Ghost , and Dark moves in the main series games.

• In Pokémon GO, Psychic is also listed as weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark, so those are your best attacking types there too.

• Dark types take no damage from Psychic moves in the main series, making them a particularly safe switch-in against many Psychic attackers.

Good counters and examples

• Popular strong Psychic counters often include Dark and Ghost legendaries or pseudo-legendaries such as Hydreigon, Tyranitar, Giratina (Origin), and Darkrai in formats like Pokémon GO raids.

• Dual-type Pokémon that combine Dark or Ghost with Steel, such as Bisharp or Aegislash, can resist Psychic moves while hitting back super effectively, giving them a solid defensive and offensive edge.

What Psychic is strong against

• Psychic-type moves are super effective against Fighting and Poison Pokémon, so avoid bringing those types alone if you expect Psychic attacks.

• Many Psychic Pokémon have high Special Attack, so even neutral hits can hurt; using naturally bulky Dark, Steel, or specially defensive Pokémon helps you survive longer while exploiting their weaknesses.

Simple team-building tip

• When planning for Psychic opponents, try to include at least one Dark-type attacker, plus a Bug or Ghost option, so you can cover different Psychic matchups and dodge common coverage moves.

• If uncertain in a new game or format, default to a strong Dark-type with good bulk and coverage, since that usually provides the most reliable answer to Psychic threats.
