Boosts

Psychic-type boosts in Scarlet & Violet: terrain and abilities

Each card shows how it helps Psychic moves in Scarlet & Violet and where to get it. A move and an ability that bring the same weather or terrain do not add up: the boost counts once.

Terrain1

Psychic TerrainMOVE×1.3
For five turns, Psychic moves used by Pokémon on the ground do 1.3× damage.
TipFlying-type Pokémon and Pokémon with Levitate are not on the ground, so they get no boost unless another effect grounds them.

How Psychic moves deal damage in Scarlet & Violet

Each Psychic move in Scarlet & Violet is physical or special on its own, so check the category before you pick an attacker. The Psychic matchups here are the same as in today’s games.

HOW PSYCHIC DAMAGE WORKS

PER MOVEATTACK / SP. ATK vs DEFENSE / SP. DEF

Each move has its own category: physical moves use Attack against Defense, special moves use Sp. Atk against Sp. Def. The move list above shows which is which.

TERASTALLIZING

Once a battle, each side can Terastallize one Pokémon, and until the battle ends it has a single Tera type in place of its usual one or two. Psychic moves that did normal damage before the change can hit 2× after it, and the reverse.
