Effect

Generation VII

Psychic Terrain creates terrain that envelops the field and replaces the background environment and any other terrain that is already in effect. The terrain fades after five turns.

This terrain has the following effects on Pokémon that are on the ground and not in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move.

It boosts the power of Psychic-type moves used by affected Pokémon by 50% (regardless of whether the target of the move is affected by Psychic Terrain).
Affected Pokémon become immune to opponents' moves with increased priority (including moves boosted by Prankster, Gale Wings, or Triage).
- Moves that target all Pokémon (except Perish Song, Flower Shield, and Rototiller) and moves that target all foes cannot be blocked by Psychic Terrain even if they become priority moves.
Nature Power becomes Psychic.
Secret Power uses the animation of Confusion and may lower its target's Speed.
Camouflage causes the user to become Psychic-type.

When a Pokémon with the Ability Psychic Surge enters battle, Psychic Terrain is automatically created. Upon successfully doing damage, Genesis Supernova creates Psychic Terrain on the field.

If a Pokémon is holding a Psychic Seed while the field is Psychic Terrain, it consumes the Psychic Seed and its Special Defense is increased by one stage (even if it is not otherwise affected by the terrain). If a Terrain Extender is held when Psychic Terrain is used, the terrain will last 8 turns instead of 5.

If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Psychic Terrain, the user's Special Attack stat rises by one stage.

Generation VIII

Psychic Terrain now:

Boosts the power of Psychic-type moves used by affected Pokémon by 30% instead of the previous 50%.
Boosts the power of Expanding Force by 1.5×, and if the setting is a Double Battle, the move's target will be changed to hit both opposing Pokémon.
Changes Terrain Pulse's type to Psychic and doubles its base power from 50 to 100.
Changes Pokémon with Mimicry to Psychic-type.

Psychic Terrain is automatically created when Max Mindstorm is used.
