Just like in real life, there are plenty of spoon-bending shenanigans in the world of Pokémon. Psychic-types are often included among the most popular Pokémon of all time, having been series staples ever since their inception way back in Red & Blue. Those ridiculous portals in Sabrina’s gym…
Not all Psychic Pokémon are made equal though, with certain monster magicians making a holy show of the competition – Espurr might be able to pull a bunny out of a hat, but these other lads are on a whole other level. Because of that, we’ve decided to put together a list of the best Psychic Pokémon of all time, ranked from worst to best.
As with our other lists of the best Water Pokémon, best Fire Pokémon, and best Dragon Pokémon, every evolutionary line can only be represented by one individual form from it – if Alakazam makes the cut, Abra and Kadabra are disqualified by default. This is to make the ranking as diverse and all-encompassing as possible, while also avoiding Abracadabra, Alakazam jokes.
Before we get on to the main event, let’s go through some honorable mentions:
- Reuniclus.
- Slowbro.
- Mewtwo.
- Solgaleo.
- Hatterene.
- Alolan Raichu.
- Exeggutor.
- Latios.
If your favourite is included above, sorry – they’re great, but just don’t quite manage to crack the upper echelon of Psychic Pokémon. Here’s who does.
