Psycho Boost

Psychic

Summary

Psycho Boost is a Psychic-type move with 140 power and 90% accuracy. This high-damage special attack sharply lowers the user's Special Attack stat by two stages after use, making it a powerful but risky option in combat. Known for its exclusivity, Psycho Boost is primarily associated with the Mythical Pokémon Deoxys, which emphasizes its rarity in both casual and competitive play. Given its significant power and dramatic stat drop, it is best used either as a finisher or in conjunction with strategies that mitigate the Special Attack reduction, such as switching out or using moves that reset stats.
