What Are The Best Moves Against Psychic Pokemon?
The best moves you can use against Psychic type Pokemon are Bug, Dark, and Ghost type moves.
Pretty straight forward, right? Now we know what types, let’s have a look at the strongest moves in each of those categories and break them down to make things easier to navigate.
Strongest Bug Type Pokemon Moves
The top 3 strongest Bug type Pokemon moves are Megahorn with 120 Power (Physical), Bug Buzz with 90 (Special), and X-Scissor with 80 (Physical).
Megahorn is a beast of a move, but it only has an accuracy of 85. That means that if you’re going up against a Psychic critter, you might have to run the risk of this attack missing and having an Awakening ready for when they put you to sleep!
