Psystrike is Mewtwo's signature move that is very useful in certain situations.
Even if this move is special and is dependent on Mewtwo's Special Attack stat, the damage it does is physical and will be calculated based on its target's Defense stat.
This allows Mewtwo to bypass specially defensive Pokemon's durabilities, especially those that have been boosted Amnesia!
Do take note, however, that Light Screen, and not Reflect, will reduce Psyshock's damage.
The most important aspect between Psystrike and Psychic is the type of damage it does.
Psystrike's damage is physical, and calculates its damage based on the target's Defense stat.
On the other hand, Psychic's damage is special, which means how much damage the move will do is dependent on the target's Special Defense stat.
In situations where a target has a high Special Defense stat, Psystrike will be more effective compared to Psychic as it will basically ignore this stat.
Against Pokemon with high Defense stat, Psychic will be the better move.
Psystrike can only be learned by Mewtwo by Level Up.
