Psystrike

Psychic

Summary

Psystrike is a Psychic-type move with 100 power and 100% accuracy. It deals damage based on the target's Defense stat rather than its Special Defense, making it unique among Special Attacks. This move is exclusive to Mewtwo, one of the most powerful and iconic Pokémon in the series. Psystrike is often used in competitive play due to its high base power and the ability to target the typically lower Defense stat of opposing Pokémon, making it particularly effective against specially bulky opponents.
