Learn about Psycho Boost, a Psychic-type Special move in Pokémon Platinum with 140 Power and 90% Accuracy.
Psycho Boost is a powerful Special move in Pokémon Platinum with a base Power of 140 and an Accuracy of 90%. It consumes 5 PP (Power Points) per use. The significant drawback is that using Psycho Boost lowers the caster's Special Attack stat by two levels.
In Pokémon Platinum Contests, Psycho Boost is classified as a Smart-type move and is worth 2 points. If the previous Pokémon in the Contest received maximum voltage (meaning it excited the crowd), the user of Psycho Boost gains an additional bonus. Additionally, if the user is the first to appeal, they receive an extra +2 bonus.
- Consider the Special Attack drop before using Psycho Boost, especially in consecutive turns.
- It is most effective when you can land a critical hit or when the opponent's Pokémon is already weakened.
- Utilize it in Smart-type Contests where its category and appeal bonus can be advantageous.
