The problem still lies that the pokemon "sees the attack coming." If these attacks just happen to occur at the right place at the right time, then what are causing these deus ex machina attacks? They seem very coincidental to occur.
@@Bapringles if we are going to get deep... it's because when something changes the fate intentionally, the fate itself gets a "scar" which results in what we know as "Deja Vu". So the pokemon "sees" that scenario play out right before it happens but cant do anything about it.
Also, I just realized that this will be the last time we use that Avatar as the main avatar. Though we changed avatar around the time of the middle of this series, we wanted this series itself to be consistent.
And despite being literally nothing but the embodiment of the Psychic typing in its most base form, it doesn't have enough Special Attack to be worth having the move on regardless.
The Psy weaknesses were explained to me, when I was a high schooler by a friend, as "some of the most common mental weaknesses". The typical person will usually be scared of the dark, scared of ghosts, and/or scared of bugs. Or rather - some of the most common fears since fears play into our mental strengths.
@@galarstar052 I mean, literal dark IS usually associated with evil. It's where criminals and evildoers hide and plot, it's where ghosts and monsters lie in wait, it's metaphorically the enemy of light and all that.
I think the idea behind psychic terrain is that it lets pokemon temporarily gain foresight, allowing them to evade normally faster priority moves. "nothin personell kid" style.
at least psystrike was changed from basically psyshock but for Mewtwo to a big ball of psychic, I guess since throwing balls of energy is Mewtwo's whole thing when its in the anime
In the games, too. Aura Sphere and Shadow Ball are among Mewtwo's most commonly used coverage moves and are immediately recognizable with the legend. Helps that they have perfect coverage together (Fighting and Ghost) so they're great to use in practical terms.
@@GoldStorm07 yep, even in the anime OG Mewtwo really prioritized shadow ball, and movie 16 Mewtwo (whom I consider a different Mewtwo) always used aura sphere. Mewtwo would be a good pitcher
The black energy balls mewtwo keeps sending in the movies is shadow ball. A move that didnt exist in gen 1 So it’s spiritually, its mewtwo’s signature move, despite the next gen games giving shadowball to many ghosts and psychic types. BUT for sword and shield’s pokemon day, the mewtwos in the max mewtwo raids never had shadow ball in any moveset!!! FAIL
Actually, the reason for Psychic being weak to Dark, when you consider dark is evil type in Japan, is because the mind is prone to corruption of evil thoughts and wrongdoings. At least that's my interpretation of it.
and if you consider all the psychic weaknesses: Dark, Ghost and Bug, they're all common human fears. evil, supernatural (or fear of things you cannot explain), and just bugs (hence why terror or fear is commonly represented as a spider) with this said, Psychic should alternatively be called "mind" type instead. some moves like Instruct, Agility, Trick, and Rest all involve manipulating the mind in some way.
i always assumed it's because dark types are so evil that it's impossible for a psychic type to read their mind, and thus their dirty tactics are extra effective since they catch the normally omniscient psychic type off guard.
This is totally worth 38 minutes of knowing all of the Psychic Pokemon move and just the creepy thing about them. Also I wish y'all a good day,and this video is very nice and quite informational.
I mean the target’s mind just used the move. So oranguru accessed the target’s mind and its the last used move Oranguru will manipulate the mind to fire said neurons to make the move happen again.
Cressilia faints-- that follow up afterwards caught me off guard lol But yea most of the psychic type moves are just mental waves and area manipulation, i still wish Space type was a thing 😌🪐
I think I have an explanation for Future Sight. The user sees where the opponent will be in 2 turns and prepares an attack that will hit at this moment at this place.
The description of psyshock and the way it works makes me think it's like the move "tele-fury"... (or "tele-flurry" it's been a while i can't remember) from the mortal kombat 3d era games. Where kenshi would use his psychic powers to punch and kick you from afar.
Honestly heart stamp sounds like a dark move from that description, an attack right after making your opponent think you're all cute and innocent? Pretty mischievous if you ask me
I always thought of typing as the type of infinity energy a Pokémon can contain within themselves, while the quantity of energy is hp and the quality of energy as well as how the energy is used determines defenses. That's my headcanon for Pokémon defence
Okay so this is me spitballing but what if “heart stamp” is a euphemism for a hicky? So like in a battle you do that, and it makes them flinch because of the surprise affection
I think the move Future Sight works in such a way that the user predicts it's opponent that a strong attack will hit him. The target knows when, but not from where, and therefore wonders how the attack will hit. But no matter what it thinks, the hit will come unexpectedly and will only hit harder. A gap in mental defense, you could say.
Confusion falls under 'bad translation' group. It's like Doubleslap, the English name changes context. The original name for Confusion is Mind power; more in line with what it does in the anime.
Common human phobias. Fear/terror is often represented as a spider Ghost is fear of the unknown, or anything supernatural And dark is just evil, as well as literal dark.
Pokémon types explained Normal - Base Type Fighting - Martial Art Type Dark - Evil Type Says on the tin type; Ground Bug Ghost Steel (Mechines) Elemental types; Rock Poison Flying (Air) Fire Water Grass Electric Ice Magic Types; Psychic = Mental, light and cosmic type Dragon = Dark Arcane type Fairy = Light Nature type
Ghosts/Ghost Types aren't creepy/scary to me, in fact on my Pokemon Yellow I use a Gengar on my team (before Mewtwo) instead of an Alakazam or other Psychic type. Yet still teach it Psychic Attack. On Emerald version I frequently use a Bannette?(unsure of spelling) on my team. Additionally the only Pokemon I teach Dream Eater to is Butterfree, it uses Sleep Powder then Dream Eater and can wreck many enemies:)
I’ve never bought youtuber merch before, but once I saw that tofrug I knew I had to have it! I’m so excited for it to come, and I’m so glad I could support my favorite youtuber! I can’t wait for you to reach 1 mil, you deserve it so much.
22:46 best meme lol also congratulations Lockstin! All 18 types done! It's been a blast going thru them all. It sorta reminds me of my arguments with my friends on how pokemon moves work. Cant wait to see what's next
15:11 Reminder that Orangurus are: Smart enough to use Pokeballs like trainers Have battle of wits with Slowking which results in, most cases, draws. Can make some delicious juice (see anime)
For psyshock and psystrike i like more how it is in gen 6 in which your pokemon uses it's psychic powers to raise stones and launch them like projectiles
For something like Speed Swap, I could see it being a gravity sort of effect, weighing down the faster Pokémon so comparatively the slower one looks faster, but that only really works for single battles
Love how you made a video series on a corperation that violates privacy continuously, and then you talk about Psychic types doing the same, after that Revelations style post-game
Lunar dance could also fall into the "law of equal exchange" give your whole life = that life heals a friend of yours when you brought up Alchemy FMA (brotherhood) came to mind...so yea
0:48 Sounds like me XD Yes yes, i know, "There is nothing in the dark that's not in the light" "monsters don't exist" etc. and I know that I just am irrationally afraid of the dark
I pretty much have only one explanation for Luster Purge and Mist Ball being Psychic type besides game mechanics. Both Latias and Latios are coated in mystical feathers, which let them perform all their abilities. In the movie, they can go invisible, are magically aerodynamic, and can reflect light in certain ways to disguise themselves. Luster Purge is just Latios refracting the light from its feathers in a certain way, and Mist Ball is just Latias throwing the magic feathers at someone. It's a stretch, but it's the best explanation I can think of.
Maybe Magic Powder is hypnotic suggestion, like "when this powder touches you, you henceforth are psychic type" and the opponent believes, it has the same weaknesses than the psychic type
Heal Pulse I’d assume is a very relaxing sound that is being emitted from the use of psychic abilities. Future Sight actually did happen in an anime once. It’s defined as an unavoidable attack. The text in the game “but it failed” suggested Future Sight took effect but something went wrong negating it. Though despite going over it in details, it’s surprising he didn’t catch that Celebi is also a psychic type which would be a fitting move for it.
that intro was amazing! and you make a good point... the only thing ghosts have on psychic types is the type advantage... and being actually percieved as creepy by a mich larger portion of humans...
You know the trope of someone traveling to the past to kill someone that can change the course of the future, I kind of see that but instead of traveling to the pass you are traveling to the future to attack someone. However instead of traveling to the future it’s more like being able to see into the future and since you can’t enter that since it does not exist you send a wave of energy to attack the opponent for when the time overlaps.
@@saifulmazlan4146 in some way, considering the mental manipulation powers seen with some moves, Psychic can be called "mind" type I mean it's the reason why Psychic is super effective against Fighting. Brain vs brawn, mind over matter. and also why Psychic is weak to Dark, Ghost, and Bug. (common human fears) so Rest is mind manipulation powers, albeit naturally. normal works fine, but it has the ability to override its current status condition? this is an upgrade to slack off.
as of typing out, i'm at the point where he talks about the move Future Sight, and i just wanted to say, Future Sight is good if you know that your pokemon will faint shortly
The description says the user relaxes its body to lighten itself. Totally nothing psychic. But when you consider the electric signals from the brain to the muscles now move faster, then that kindof explains it. It’s neuron manipulation more than psychich power
@@TheHammerGuy94 I read it as being a "mind over matter" type deal. Like, despite the normal limitations of your body, you are doing something with your mind to go even further beyond what you're normally capable of.
I always thought that Psyshock should've been, like... telekinetically hurling a solid object at the opponent, hence the physical damage. And, uh, Psystrike is just that fiery energy blast that Mewtwo does in the movie. And let Mew have something similar because it used the same blast.
Telekinetically hurling some rocks (for instance), could also be more as an explanation to the mon learning Rock Slide or a similar Rock move. Not that it could be both, depending on the specifics.
Late to the party, but if we're talking the first movie, that was actually Shadow Ball IIRC, which is actually a really good move to have on Mewtwo in Gen 2 =P
@@HellbladesFFXI It's a fairly average move in Gen II. Shadow Ball was Physical before Gen IV for... some reason, and therefore ran off Mewtwo's Attack of 110, which is good, but nothing on its Sp.Atk of 154. Mewtwo would do much better with the Elemental Punches. Also, I was referring to the attack that Mewtwo and Mew use that turns Ash to stone. They're surrounded by a fiery aura of their respective energy colours, and then it fires in a massive energy blast that explodes when they hit each other. According to the wiki this is meant to be Psychic, but Psychic doesn't look like that when any other Pokemon uses it, so I call foul. It's almost certainly the inspiration for the "Psyburn" move that appeared on a lot of Mewtwo cards in the TCG.
@@ToaArcan Hmm. I always figured that was Psybeam they were using, with the aura being an outward show of just how much power their beams had lol but different opinions is really what makes Pokemon interesting to me. I do agree it's not Psychic though, cause that has in any other bit of the anime or such, literally throwing the opponent with psychic power. And yeah, I loved that Psyburn Mewtwo lol XD Not the best Mewtwo even in it's era but still special cause I had it as a kid. Edit: I think I preferred having Shadow Ball just for having a Ghost move that actually did damage against how originally Lick was it and yeah... Ghost is my favorite type >.>;
The way i see future sight is that the Pokemon foresee the opponent next actions and through this is able to plan their attack ahead, and thats why future sigth has high accuracy and is very hard to defend against.
I think "rest" as a kind of self-induced super deep sleep that has some techniques. Other moves may sleep you (hypnosis, Spore) but only rest makes you heal completely.
I still love how little patience you have for the Partner Eevee moves. I don't even particularly dislike them, I just think your reactions are hilarious. I'd love to see you do a video on Synchronoise, but it's not pronounced like "Synchronize." It's sound waves, you know? It's really powerful, but it's a super weird move.
So, all of the move types have pretty much been covered by now, huh? Perhaps it's time to suggest an idea for a future Pokémon series? What if Pokémon moves could be more than one type, like how Pokémon themselves could be up to 2 types? Like, for example, would Muddy Water be a Water/Ground type move if it could be more than one type?
look at your Slakoth, now at me, now back at yours, now back to me. Sadly, your Slakoth isn't me, but, they can smell like me with *Skill Swap.* -yes i have memorized that more or less. thanks Maple Springs Bible Camp lmaoo
In regards to Manaphy's Heart swap, in the Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Heart swap actually swaps the minds of two targets, Manaphy using it to swap Ash and the Pokemon ranger's minds, so that's probably bonus psychic type points
For the case of illusionists, thier entire thing is that thier hands are too fast that the stuff they’re trying to perfrom magic on looks like they are teleporting. Therefore magicians. Whether psychic power or no, it still involved playing tricks on the mind. Therefore, psychic

I see Future Sight as foreseeing a “butterfly effect event” and maneuvering the opponent to the right place at the right time.
Maybe. Sounds plausible...
That would probably work
That's actually what it's supposed to be.
You're using your psychic powers to shape fate. That's why it's so powerful.
The problem still lies that the pokemon "sees the attack coming." If these attacks just happen to occur at the right place at the right time, then what are causing these deus ex machina attacks? They seem very coincidental to occur.

I know you probably don't care about one guy's opinion, but I think this avatar is the best one you've ever had.
That's a shame, I actually like this avatar more than the current one
I also share the opinion that the avatar in this video is better, its more mature and clean to me.

I like how there's only a 1 in 18 chance for Unown to get a same-type attack boost out of their move
True, it's pretty stupid
it's actually 1 in 16 IF it was random uniformly
I don't think HP normal and HP fairy exist so unown has 1in 16 chance
And despite being literally nothing but the embodiment of the Psychic typing in its most base form, it doesn't have enough Special Attack to be worth having the move on regardless.

This whole comment thread is 100% accurate. It's also why Psychic is strong against fighting type; mind over matter and all that.
Which reminds me of how Ghost Rider tried to search for guilt within Punisher, but he had none.
Or, to go along with the fear concept, it could be the fear of evil people/acts; most people are (reasonably) fearful of criminals.
I imagine Future Sight works like Epitaph in JJBA. They see the future where the attack lands and know what to do now to get to that point.

and you make a good point... the only thing ghosts have on psychic types is the type advantage... and being actually percieved as creepy by a mich larger portion of humans...
You know the trope of someone traveling to the past to kill someone that can change the course of the future, I kind of see that but instead of traveling to the pass you are traveling to the future to attack someone. However instead of traveling to the future it’s more like being able to see into the future and since you can’t enter that since it does not exist you send a wave of energy to attack the opponent for when the time overlaps.
35:27 Ah yes my favorite psychic ability, sleeping.
It being Normal type would make so much sense.
Well when your sleep your mind is calmed right,so it makes sense that it is psychic type.Its like Calm Mind, but in sleeping mode
@@saifulmazlan4146 in some way, considering the mental manipulation powers seen with some moves, Psychic can be called "mind" type
I mean it's the reason why Psychic is super effective against Fighting. Brain vs brawn, mind over matter.
and also why Psychic is weak to Dark, Ghost, and Bug. (common human fears)
so Rest is mind manipulation powers, albeit naturally.
normal works fine, but it has the ability to override its current status condition? this is an upgrade to slack off.
I'd say rest and agility are like calm mind because they involve relaxing and having the mental strength to not be overwhelmed by the battle
I feel like the justification for a lot of the "not psychic type" moves are that they fall into the "behave intelligently" category
You just need to do a video explaining the Pokémon you haven’t talked about during the Not Type series.
as of typing out, i'm at the point where he talks about the move Future Sight,
and i just wanted to say, Future Sight is good if you know that your pokemon will faint shortly
I was today years old when I found out Agility was psychic-type. I always thought it was normal-type, lol
The description says the user relaxes its body to lighten itself.
Totally nothing psychic.
But when you consider the electric signals from the brain to the muscles now move faster, then that kindof explains it.
It’s neuron manipulation more than psychich power
@@TheHammerGuy94 I read it as being a "mind over matter" type deal. Like, despite the normal limitations of your body, you are doing something with your mind to go even further beyond what you're normally capable of.
The echidna joke jfc. This is the kinda content i love, and that's about to earn 1 million subs wooo
I always thought that Psyshock should've been, like... telekinetically hurling a solid object at the opponent, hence the physical damage.
And, uh, Psystrike is just that fiery energy blast that Mewtwo does in the movie. And let Mew have something similar because it used the same blast.
Telekinetically hurling some rocks (for instance), could also be more as an explanation to the mon learning Rock Slide or a similar Rock move. Not that it could be both, depending on the specifics.
Late to the party, but if we're talking the first movie, that was actually Shadow Ball IIRC, which is actually a really good move to have on Mewtwo in Gen 2 =P
@@HellbladesFFXI It's a fairly average move in Gen II. Shadow Ball was Physical before Gen IV for... some reason, and therefore ran off Mewtwo's Attack of 110, which is good, but nothing on its Sp.Atk of 154. Mewtwo would do much better with the Elemental Punches.
Also, I was referring to the attack that Mewtwo and Mew use that turns Ash to stone. They're surrounded by a fiery aura of their respective energy colours, and then it fires in a massive energy blast that explodes when they hit each other.
According to the wiki this is meant to be Psychic, but Psychic doesn't look like that when any other Pokemon uses it, so I call foul.
It's almost certainly the inspiration for the "Psyburn" move that appeared on a lot of Mewtwo cards in the TCG.
@@ToaArcan Hmm. I always figured that was Psybeam they were using, with the aura being an outward show of just how much power their beams had lol but different opinions is really what makes Pokemon interesting to me.
I do agree it's not Psychic though, cause that has in any other bit of the anime or such, literally throwing the opponent with psychic power. And yeah, I loved that Psyburn Mewtwo lol XD Not the best Mewtwo even in it's era but still special cause I had it as a kid.
Edit: I think I preferred having Shadow Ball just for having a Ghost move that actually did damage against how originally Lick was it and yeah... Ghost is my favorite type >.>;
The way i see future sight is that the Pokemon foresee the opponent next actions and through this is able to plan their attack ahead, and thats why future sigth has high accuracy and is very hard to defend against.
"You can distract a dragon with a spoon"
Have you not seen Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid?
I think "rest" as a kind of self-induced super deep sleep that has some techniques. Other moves may sleep you (hypnosis, Spore) but only rest makes you heal completely.
i got a giggle every time when you said space with the effects
8:07 i kinda see it like this: the pokemon either sends an attack into the future or timed an attack that will only do damage in 2 turns
We've completed the Cycle!
Now onto the Abilities!
I still love how little patience you have for the Partner Eevee moves. I don't even particularly dislike them, I just think your reactions are hilarious.
I'd love to see you do a video on Synchronoise, but it's not pronounced like "Synchronize." It's sound waves, you know? It's really powerful, but it's a super weird move.
So, all of the move types have pretty much been covered by now, huh? Perhaps it's time to suggest an idea for a future Pokémon series?
What if Pokémon moves could be more than one type, like how Pokémon themselves could be up to 2 types? Like, for example, would Muddy Water be a Water/Ground type move if it could be more than one type?

“Even the echidnas aren’t safe!” I got that reference!
26:59 Get it cause echidnas have four pps and it gets rid of 3 so it’s safe from the- yeah I’m done talking about this
look at your Slakoth, now at me, now back at yours, now back to me. Sadly, your Slakoth isn't me, but, they can smell like me with *Skill Swap.*
-yes i have memorized that more or less. thanks Maple Springs Bible Camp lmaoo
7:35 I already heared this 20 times now xDD
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
"MAX POWER - The name you want to touch, but you mustn't toouuch...!"
If theres anything to take away from this video, Psychic type should really be Cosmic type
So are we not gonna talk about the Eerie Spell/Echidna joke?! 💀😂💀😂💀😂
Oh I get it!Magic Powder just convinces the target that it's Psychic type,so it thinks it is weaker to Dark/Ghost/Bug
Makes sense to me
In regards to Manaphy's Heart swap, in the Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea, Heart swap actually swaps the minds of two targets, Manaphy using it to swap Ash and the Pokemon ranger's minds, so that's probably bonus psychic type points
All of those moves could have explain alot better if he watch the anime "toaru kagaku no railgun/accelarator" and"toaru majutsu no index"
7:35 when you repeat yourself for the 3rd time
"Even the echidnas aren't safe."
Peak content
I'm surprised we didn't get a Physical Psychic move where the opponent is held in place telekinetically while the user attacks them.
It'd be hilarious and if it existed, I'd totally use it!
Give it to a Psychic/Fighting Pokemon
Would be amazing
Probably would be a crappy 2 turn move lol
For Trick, the anime shows Trick as a teleportation technique.
For the case of illusionists, thier entire thing is that thier hands are too fast that the stuff they’re trying to perfrom magic on looks like they are teleporting.
Therefore magicians.
Whether psychic power or no, it still involved playing tricks on the mind. Therefore, psychic
