Psychic-type Pokémon are weak to Bug-, Ghost-, and Dark-type moves in the current main-series Pokémon type chart. These are incoming attacks that deal super-effective damage to a Psychic defender—not types that Psychic moves are strong against. Psychic Pokémon resist Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
Psychic type weaknesses and resistances
| Incoming move type | Effect on a single-type Psychic defender |
|---|---|
| Bug | Weakness; super-effective |
| Ghost | Weakness; super-effective |
| Dark | Weakness; super-effective |
| Fighting | Resistance |
| Psychic | Resistance |
The official Pokémon type chart shows these matchups for Psychic defenders. If you are planning a battle, use Bug-, Ghost-, or Dark-type attacks against a single-type Psychic Pokémon, and avoid assuming a Fighting- or Psychic-type attack will be equally effective.
Why a Psychic Pokémon’s second type matters
For a dual-type Pokémon, both types affect the matchup. A second type can add another weakness, provide a resistance that offsets Psychic’s weakness, or otherwise change the resulting effectiveness. Pokémon’s Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl battling guide explains that shared weaknesses can stack to quadruple damage, while a weakness and a resistance can cancel to regular damage. Check the complete type combination rather than treating every Psychic Pokémon as having the same defenses.
Does the answer change by game?
The official chart says it is based on the latest game in the Pokémon series and cautions that type affinity may differ by game. The weaknesses above describe the current main-series chart; for a specific title, check that game’s rules. Pokémon GO has its own battle and type-effectiveness guidance, so consult Niantic’s Pokémon GO support page rather than assuming every main-series rule applies unchanged.
