Psych Up (move)

Psych Up (Japanese: じこあんじ Self-suggest) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation II. It was TM09 in Generation II before losing its TM status in Generation III. It regained its TM status, albeit as TM77, in Generation IV onwards.

Generation II
Psych Up copies all of the target's stat stages and replicates them onto the user (,, , , , , and ). Psych Up will fail if all of the target's stat stages are 0.

Psych Up bypasses checks to always hit, unless the target is in the  of a move such as  or. It is not affected by or.

Generations III and IV
Psych Up no longer fails if all of the target's stat stages are 0.

Psych Up can be stolen by, in which case Psych Up will be targeted at the (most recent) Pokémon it was stolen from.

Generation V
Psych Up can no longer be stolen by Snatch.

Generation VI onward
Psych Up now also copies the target's critical hit ratio. (e.g. If the target has the effect of, the user also gains that effect; if the user has the effect of Focus Energy but the target does not, the user loses that effect.)

Psych Up is not affected by or, but will fail if the target is protected by.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Psych Up, the user regains all of its HP.
