The best Psychic-type attackers (DPS ranking) for raids — legendary, 5-star, and more. Includes Megas and Shadows, with each Pokémon's recommended moveset and bulk (survivability).
Ranked by Overall score (big number) = a balanced metric combining DPS and TDO (total damage while surviving). Based on hitting targets weak to Psychic at level 40, with STAB and 1.6× weakness (fast moves are also favored when type-matched).

How is the Overall score calculated?
We apply the standard PvE formula to public game data (base stats, move power/duration/energy), assuming you hit a target weak to this type at level 40. DPS is per-second damage with STAB and 1.6× weakness; TDO is total damage before fainting, factoring in bulk (HP/Defense); Overall combines the two into a balanced metric (DPS³×TDO) for ranking (PokeBattler's Overall method). Numbers may differ from other sites depending on the method — use for reference. Other type tiers →
