Psybeam Effect

Psybeam In-Game.jpg

Has the user fire a peculiar ray in the designated direction. If the ray hits an opposing Pokemon, it will then split beyond the first Pokemon hit and deal damage to other opposing Pokemon in range. These split rays deal more damage the higher the max HP of the first Pokemon hit by the ray has its movement speed decreased or is unable to act, those same effects will be applied to the Pokemon hit by the split rays.

How to Use Psybeam

Target High HP Pokemon for Max Damage

Similar to moves like Hyper Beam and Solar Beam, the damage dealt by the rays depends on the max HP of the first Pokemon it hits. Maximize the move's damage by targeting Pokemon with high HP and securing objectives.

Target Grouped Opponents

Since the ray splits to nearby targets when you hit an opponent with Psybeam, use the move on grouped opponents to turn it into an area attack, especially in teamfights.

Moreover, if the primary target is stunned or slowed, those effects will also be applied to the nearby targets hit by the split rays. Using Psyshock to stun enemies, then following up with Psybeam is the best way to trigger the effect.
