Below, we’ll reveal those allies via some of the best options for Psychic Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet.
The Psychic Type Used to Be Broken #pokemon
Espathra is a fast special attacker that packs a big punch when it attacks. As is the case with many Psychic Pokémon, Espathra's move pool is huge, with enough coverage moves to deal with opponents. Espathra's only downside is that it can have trouble taking hits, so make sure to equip this Pokémon with the right moves and items to ensure it can set up and take down opponents.
Finally, Girafarig got an evolution, and not only that, the evolution looks great and has some powerful benefits. Firstly, while being dual-typed with Normal might feel like a disadvantage, Farigiraf doesn’t have to worry about Ghost-types at all, which is a huge boon. Furthermore, Farigiraf has a very similar stat distribution to Espathra, but trades speed for a ton of Hit Points and the ability to be a mixed attacker. The ability to tear through an enemy team by switching between physical and special attacks should never be underestimated, making Farigiraf a universal threat.
