Description

Effect

In battle

Psyshock does damage to the target, but despite Psyshock being a special move, its damage is dependent on the target's Defense instead of its Special Defense. In a Double Battle, Psyshock can target any Pokémon around the user. In a Triple Battle, Psyshock can only target a Pokémon that's adjacent to the user.
