Psystrike Effect

Has the user direct psychic waves at the designated opposing Pokemon, dealing damage to it and decreasing its movement speed. While the user is directing psychic waves, it takes reduced damage. At the end of the move, the user hits the designated opposing Pokemon and nearby opposing Pokemon with a strong psychic wave, throwing and dealing damage to all opposing Pokemon it hits.

How to Use Psystrike

Use Eject Button or Teleport as a Setup

Use Eject Button or Teleport to setup Psystrike. The move has a short cast range that forces Mewtwo X to get close to targets first, which could put the Pokemon in a dangerous position. Having means to quickly get close to the target allows Mewtwo X to use Psystrike without giving them time to react.

Use Recover

Alternatively, Mewtwo X can use Recover instead to set up Psystrike. Although the move isn't a dash move, it does increase Mewtwo X's movement speed and gives it a shield that heals the Pokemon when it takes damage.

Move While Firing

Always move around while firing Psystrike since the move doesn't render Mewtwo X immobilized. This mechanic allows Mewtwo X to determine whether to be defensive or aggressive while channeling.

Use Battle Items or a Move While Firing

Mewtwo X can also use battle items or a move while firing Psystrike. In particular, using Eject Button or Teleport while firing Psystrike is a great way to avoid enemy attacks and moves.

Utilize the Knockup Effect

When Psystrike's final wave hits the target, it and nearby opponents gets knocked up for a short time. Utilize this effect to set up knockouts for the team.

Utilize the Unstoppable Status Effect and Damage Reduction

Mewtwo X gains the Unstoppable status effect and receives reduced damage while firing Psystrike. Utilize this effect to soak a few disables from opponents during teamfights.
