Psych-Up is a Normal-type status move with no power and perfect accuracy. It allows the user to copy the target's current stat changes, including boosts and drops, making it a versatile move for evening the playing field in battles. Unlike many other moves, Psych-Up's effectiveness is not influenced by type advantages or resistances, as it solely affects the user's and target's stat modifications. It can be particularly useful in competitive play to counter opponents who rely on stat-boosting strategies. Psych-Up can also negate the negative effects of moves like Swagger or Flatter by turning the stat changes into potential advantages.
