This pretty much. Psychic has piss poor defensive and offensive typing.
That's why you see Gengar in OU instead of unloved Alakazam, that and his terrible defense.

It's Pursuit and U-turn weak, mainly, but also has really bad coverage. It's not generally a good type unless paired with another type that balances it out either with resistances or extra STAB. Also, there aren't really that many good Psychic type pokemon.
Ha, looks like Mismagius and Drifblim crossed.The Melkor Files (insert cheesy music)

Desukan?!?
:O :O :O
Ya know, I never understood some digivolutions...
It's not hate, it's just that there are so many pure Psychic types this gen. >_> Kinda lame having so many, but oh well. There better be a Psychic gym...
[And a Dark type member of the E4... Again].
Because Psychic is worse typing than normal.
Flying only needs to pair with Fighting and get a pure flying type.
Apparently, they're getting it this generation.
Ever since when is Normal a bad type? STAB Return, great movepools, and the lack of resistances is balanced by having only one weakness.
spikes would be nice, but i hope denchura is speedy.
im also looking for a non damaging entry hazard. like -2 speed when switched in. a nice change from "SPIKE TOXISPIKE SR LAWL"
he also posted N's&team plasma's theme too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Tb9I7jqeE&feature=bulletin
I think these two are the best so far... cant wait to hear the rest. IMO the in game music helps me like the game more....no matter how good the game may be if the music is bad I'll hate it. thats why I hate d/p in game =/
Sounds nice! Did he record that from a trailer or has the ROM been leaked(doubt it)?
I second this.
I think Cresselia is one of those Pokemon whose very existence is threatened by Opposing Tyranitar. The mere presence of a Tyranitar spells doom for Cresselia. Sand Stream ruins it's only recovery, Pursuit wears it down, DD variants set up on it, CB outright kills it, and it can't do anything back. When you're a liability against one of the Top 5 Pokemon in the Game, you're dead weight more often than not. I think Cresselia should have like 50/105 offenses so it's not so helpless. Doesn't is look like a pure Special Attacker?
It's really kind of pathetic though how Psychic went from the best type in the game to (arguably) the worst type. Poison and Ice are horrible types for offense and defense respectively, but Psychic just sucks in general.
Wow, I didn't think Wooguru would be this late in the Dex.
Cress learns Moonlight you know.
But it only heals 25% HP in the sand stream :/
Well it might get recover this gen. But ttar is the reason why cress is doomed. Sure the psychic typing sucks but ttar is the main problem.
