welcome to watch mojo and today we're
going to be counting down our picks for
the top 10
psychic type pokemon today my colleagues
will reach the site
where an ancient civilization may have
created a shrine to mew
for this list we'll be looking at the
most iconic and best pokemon of the
psychic variety
which of these mental mavens is your go

twitter ashjaebow so head over there

pokemon list you want to see next

to check out the full song at the link

[Music]
number 10 slow bro i'm the first
researcher to witness this
slow poke evolved into slow bro and
sheldor changed into a spiral shape
since bug types were pretty weak and the
special stat had yet to be split into
attack and defense
psychic pokemon were at their most
broken during generation one
while not the strongest water or psychic
type slowbro's duality makes it an
effective option not only in the
original games
but most of the subsequent entries with
sloaking proving to be an interesting
gen 2 alternative
take the treasure and put it there
slowbro also got a couple of moments to
shine in the anime
including a win over matchamp and a few
run-ins with team rockets
it did not end well for them
number nine lugia in pokemon's early
days
legendaries and psychic types went hand
in hand as the main attraction of the
second pokemon movie
lugia arrived on the scene like a
hurricane making the legendary birds
look timid in comparison
the song has restored my strength
with a memorable design that has an air
of nobility
and backed by some cool lore lugia left
an incredible first impression
that proved to be long lasting
in the games lugia is a tank with high
defense
and fantastic special defense while its
psychic and water dual typing
gives access to a robust collection of
moves
[Music]
lugia what do you know i saw the real
thing number eight deoxies pokemon
loves to stick to the status quo so
anything a bit different
tends to be rather appealing deoxys
stands out due to its multiple forms
as the normal version can be converted
into alternatives
that focus on attack defense or speed
[Music]
while these forms were initially limited
to specific generation 3 games
they could be swapped in subsequent
adventures
[Music]
deoxys is not only an incredibly
versatile pokemon but its alien-esque
bipedal design
is also eye-catching in a positive
rather than baffling way
its appearances are rare but are always
a treat
it's psycho boost
number seven metagross certain pokemon
are notorious
but also simultaneously loved for
wrecking challenges in the game
in ho end that honor belongs to
metagross
let's go
[Music]
once again ash chooses pikachu who will
now face off against alarm's
metagross a pseudo legendary as well as
the secret weapon of the region's league
champion metagross is a steel and
psychic tank of a pocket monster
with great attack and defense stats
[Music]
it's the kind of beast that can
radically improve any team
and also tends to be a fun opponent to
face off against
even if it too falls prey to pikachu's
type defying thunderbolts every now and
again
it's the surprise thunderbolts from
pikachu can better gross with standard
number six wobba fett the pokemon anime
proved that a one-word vocabulary
is enough to create legends and wobba
fett uses this limitation to produce
comedy gold unless it must have happened
in the real machine
so now this one that belongs to me
whenever jesse's forever saluting
pokemon pops out of a pokeball for a
spontaneous name call
the anime is always better off for it
especially when wubba fett takes part in
a legitimate battle
and surpasses expectations that was
their mistake
they thought they were tough but they
underestimated lulu's wob effect
their pokemon attacked but lulu had her
wabafetee's counter and mirror coat
the tough guys pokemon didn't stand a
chance
although its stats are pretty low and it
has no attacks of its own
wobberfett is a potential ace in the
hall one that uses
its opponent's moves against them
there's no better way for us to begin
our kalos kingdom
and i'll take the one with the ears
number five espeon
introduced in generation two espeon is
just one of evie's 9 evolutions
all of which are rather iconic in their
own right
[Music]
in many ways espeon highlights the
general strengths
and weaknesses of psychic types it has a
killer special attack stats
some hard hitting moves impressive speed
and it is also kind of fragile
[Applause]
like nearly all of eevee's evolutions
espeon's design is elegant
and practically perfect which is
probably why it tends to pop up in the
anime pretty frequently
while it is up for debate whether espeon
should take precedence over the likes of
sylveon
or jolteon it's proven itself to be a
worthwhile option
all the same espeon
number four mew as the first mythical
pokemon
and the subject of many generation one
rumors
mew has plenty to offer besides being
cute enough to threaten pikachu
playful and mischievous mew is a delight
in the anime
particularly the first movie
[Music]
when it comes to the games mew's uniform
stats mean it is a jack of all trades
and a master of none although not a
powerhouse
new's capacity to learn all of the tms
and hms
is valuable while the move transform can
be a game changer if used correctly
for a pokemon that is not all that great
rots more than makes up for its failings
by growing into
two great final evolutions in gallate
and gardevoir out of the two gardevoir
earned a slight edge in generation six
when it was turned into a psychic and
fairy duel type
a combination that elevated the pokemon
to unexpected heights
like most psychic types gardevoir cannot
take much of a hit
but it delivers when it comes to special
attack especially once mega evolution
was added to the mix
[Music]
number two alakazam
[Music]
one of a handful of evolutions that
required trading in generation one
alakazam took some work to obtain but
proved to be worth it
even after all these years alakazam is
still a force to be reckoned with
even if there are arguably better
psychic types out there
the introduction of mega evolution and
the move scishok
gave alakazam new leases on life making
it one of the fastest
and most destructive pokemon around
outside of the games and sabrina's gym
alakazam has appeared sporadically in
the anime and is generally regarded as a
true classic of the franchise
before we unveil our number one pick
here's some honorable mentions
reunicus it stood out in a generation
that was not great for psychic types
celebi he continued the trend of
mythical pokemon being cute
and powerful
solgaleo it's a lion that creates
[Music]
wormholes
the franchise is not yet out of psychic
type ideas

mewtwo despite being a clone of mew
mewtwo has eclipsed its source material
to become something even greater these
humans
they care nothing for me
immortalized by its villainous nuanced
yet sympathetic portrayal in the first
pokemon movie
the generation one psychic type set the
standard for legendaries
and still ranks among the most dominant
in the in-game universe in terms of
stats
design and legacy
only seconds of pikachu as a media icon
mewtwo's anime
appearances have been kept sparse enough
so every time the big man does show up
it's an event
