Psyshock is a Psychic-type damage-dealing move.

Function

Psyshock monofunctionally inflicts damage.

Converse to its special-move categorization, its offensive damage-power output is calculated by the opponent’s Defense stat; however, the offensive damage-output power is still calculated using the user’s Special Attack stat, corresponsive to the move’s classification.

Beyond the defensive damage-calculation transposition, Psyshock still falls within the mechanical purview of special-powered moves; for example, Reflect does not insulate itself from this move, nor does it incur the repercussive damage output of Counter. Bilaterally, it still is impinged by counteractants of special-powered moves, such as the Light Screen move.
