8. Psychic
Nominated by: Raka_Putra
Introduced: Gen I
Pokemon I associate this move with: Alakazam
This move is the epitome of what Psychic-typing meant in Gen I, and that back then, as I'm sure a lot of you know, there was no two ways about it being the most powerful type. The only thing this move didn't cut straight through back in the day was other Psychics and a few stragglers here and there (Chansey and Snorlax, to name what were most likely the most prominent). Since then, two new types that resist/aren't effected by Psychic have come along, as well as many powerful Pokemon of other types, and these days Psychic typing is actually more of a weakness than a strong suit. But for one gen, they ruled them all, and I don't think any move makes me remember those good ol' days quite like this one.
