Top 3 Psychic Type Killer in Pokemon Go
Psychic Pokemon has a type disadvantage to Dark and Ghost Pokemon.
Dark Pokemon tend to be the best Pokemon to use against Psychic Pokemon. Dark Pokemon have both an offensive and a defensive advantage against Psychic Pokemon.
There are not many Dark Pokemon in Gen 1 but Gen 2 Pokemon provide a couple of great options.
1. Gengar ( has one of the best attack stat, third only to Alakazam and Dragonite)
CP | 2619 |
ATK | 261 |
DEF | 156 |
STA | 120 |
Best Moveset: Hex / Shadowball
The best all around Pokemon vs Psychic pokemon right now is hands down Gengar. Gengar is one of the top offensive Pokemon in the game right now. More over his move set works well against Psychic pokemo. Psychic pokemo has a weakness to the
Ghost type moves that Gengar has many of. With an Attack stat of 271, Gengar has one of the best attack stat, third only to Alakazam and Dragonite but it's defense and stamina are low
2. Umb reon (very high defense and stamina but low attack)
CP | 2052 |
ATK | 126 |
DEF | 250 |
STA | 190 |
Best Moveset: Feint Attack/Foul Play
Umb reon is the other new Eevee Evolution form that appears in Gen 2 and it is a great choice against Espeon. Umb reon is a very solid Dark Pokemon that will also be pretty to get. An ideal Umb reon against Espeon would have a move set of all dark moves.
3. Houndoom (Houndoom is the second most powerful Dark type in the game)
CP | 2529 |
ATK | 224 |
DEF | 159 |
STA | 150 |
Best Moveset: Snarl/Foul Play
Another option to use against psychic pokemon is Houndoom the evolved form of Houndour. Houndoom is one of the rare Fire Pokemon who can be used in two different ways. A Houndoom with a Fire Fang/Fire Blast combo can dish out plenty of damage to Grass and Ice Pokemon. But Houndoom is the second most powerful Dark type in the game, which gives it a strong advantage over Ghost and Psychic type Pokemon. This means that a Houndoom with Snarl/Foul Play can easily wreck any Espeon or Alakazam that crosses its path.
