Actually, Rash Raikou beats base 100s by one point. Not a lot is in the speed tier above that, so it's actually quite usable.

I'm honestly confused with the accusation that Psychic is quite shitty in UU when I agree with Koko that it does have relevance in threatening fighting types but I add that it is just as relevant in that it threatens the poison types that are quickly becoming just as relevant as a defensive measure with the metagame. Hint more often than not we carry two Heracross checks is food for thought.

Honestly, STAB Psychic is one of the best types in UU right now. There are very few Dark types (Weavile, Houndoom, and Sabeleye are the most common), and a lot of potent threats take SE damage from it (Crobat, Nidos, Roserade, Mienshao, Heracross, among others). I would say Choice locked Psychic is actually a touch safer than Choice locked Electric in this meta. I haven't been using Mew as much as Choice Slowbro and Medicham, and more often than not I'll catch myself going "wow, if I use the Psychic attack, something is going to die for sure".
