Thank you for the information.

My favourite Psychic Shiny is Gardevoir. I really like the blue and orange scheme on the Embrace Pokemon. The mega getting a black dress instead of White is a nice touch and can lead to a pretty epic final battle against Diantha's regular Mega Gardevoir. I am fortunate enough to have both a Shiny and regular Gardevoir. :)

Solrock also has a pretty good Shiny.

My least favourite Psychic Shiny is Delphox. I was planning to Masuda Method a Shiny Fennekin but both Shiny Braixen and Shiny Delphox for me do not look as good as their regular versions.

Neon Green Espeon isn't great either.

On my post count I am now on 8...What Gothita is evolving?

I agree with the Shiny Gardevoir. I'm so happy to own one, but I caught mine in Gen III game though. So I'm planning to hatch one with the Masuda Method. :) The Shiny Solsis line as well as Shiny Jynx are good in my book as well. :)

Shiny Braixen looks better than a Shiny Delphox for me. :D Braixen looks like a young witch more in the shiny color. :)

I'm not a fan of the neon green Espeon, it can be better. A Shiny Espeon would be better if she's colored in cherry blossom pink.~

Congratulations! Oh and here's a Ralts for you.

Yes! I'll get both of them evolved!

Well, one of my favorite shinies is Celebi. The pink gorgeous thing, and also one of the most likeable characters in PMD: Sky! Cresselia as well, since I love how it's pink and blue at the same time.

Ah how could I forget those two shinies! Cresselia's definitely good! :)

Which Psychic-type Shiny is your least fave, Dragoz?

EDIT: Finished editing the teams, Dragoz congratulations for having 2 evolved Pokémon! ^_^ It's not even my team but it excites me. ^^ If this Club is going to be active in the future like how it is right now, I'm gonna introduce a new mechanic to our Psychic-type Club (I was expecting to introduce this to the Grass or Flying-type Club first).

Cressellia has a nice shiny but I prefer her regular colour scheme. Cherry Blossom Pink Espeon would work or the same blue as Mew's Shiny.

Yay! A Ralts. Is it Male or Female?

There is no such thing as gender in the scenario campaigns.

I plan to evolve my new Ralts all the way to the (Mega)Gardevoir stage.

Question 1

I'd like to see an Psychic Angel Pokemon. Whilst some say Gardevoir is a Guardian Angel but I don't think there has been an Angel Pokemon. As long as it doesn't come across as a Angemon knock off it could make a good Legendary.

Question 2

Given the reaction of both fans and non fans to the Vanillish line (I personally have no objection to them) basing any Pokemon on foodstuff would be a bad idea particularly the Psychic Type which is seen as by and large a serious type. (Other than Mr Mime)

Gardevoir reminds me of a dancer or even a lover who unconditionally devotes their life in protecting that important person with their life.

Your answer to the second one, reminds me like what if they created a spoon Pokémon? xD Spoon, which is commonly associated with psychics in real life.

What animal/item should Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
I don't have any particular animals in mind, as animals that are associated with Psychic from various medias have been made into Pokémon already. However, I would like to see a non-legendary Psychic Pokémon who's a strong Physical attacker and preferably speedy too!

What animal/item shouldn't Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
As long as it looks creative, that's what really matters. Not the animal nor item they are based on, just look at Chandelure, it looks great despite it was just based on a chandelier. :)

EDIT: [S-HIGHLIGHT]I made a clumsy mistake when updating our member lists yesterday, fortunately Mewtwolover was quick and wise to discover the mistake I made on his team. If you notice a mistake feel free to send me a message about it.[/S-HIGHLIGHT]

Least favorite shiny would be Uxie's. I'm not a fan of how it just...turns pure gold. I suppose Uxie does look rarer that way, but I kinda prefer the normal version.

What animal/item should Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
Something humanoid this time. Like, a Ghost-Psychic humanoid that does understand human speech...and probably speaks human as well. It could be a legendary, and probably the mascot of the games. I'm currently imagining something shaped like a mannequin, except that it's made up entirely of shadow and has little wisps floating around it. And no, this isn't Sabrina-possessed or something {XD}

What animal/item shouldn't Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
No random. Please. I don't know what to specify, but putting irrelevant things together and calling it Psychic let me down one time. Something like Spoink and Grumpig. They're based on pigs, pink irl, but I don't think that's enough to make them Psychic. But I guess it's up to everyone's preference. (EDIT) So I was looking at Spoink's design, trying to justify my dislike for it...and I failed. IT'S TOO CUTE TO DISLIKE.

Hoopa says hi to you! lol Would you like a Mr. Mime or Jynx? Just kidding you, haha! {XD} Sounds like a fanatic idea, actually. That needs to be a part of Ghost-type Gym Leader's roster, preferably as an ace.

Bulbapedia said:
Origin
Apart from being a pig, the inspiration for Grumpig may be the Biblical phrase "...neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you" from Matthew 7:6. The pearls were supposed to represent wisdom given to an audience who would not appreciate the teachings. Grumpig and Spoink appear to instead use those pearls of wisdom to enhance their psychic powers.
I found this far-fetched, to be honest. I still believe Spoink and Grumpig are randomly slapped with Psychic-type as you said.

Dog, IMO that there's still room for dog-based Psychic-type Pokémon. It should be regular Pokémon.

What animal/item shouldn't Game Freak based on for Gen 7 Psychic-type Pokémon?
Fox, there's Delphox in Gen 6 so it would feel too much like repeating.

Edit: My 5th post so I guess that it's evolution time for Ralts.

Grumpig? I forgot all about that guy. Can I change my least favourite Psychic Pokemon to him?

I remember thinking it was Poison type. Whilst Spoink is cute Grumpig is quite possibly the one Psychic Type I would never use.

Dogs appeared in the Chinese legends, mythology. They have similar powers to Psychics, so that's a yes!

And yes Congratulations! Your Ralts is now a Kirlia:
You can evolve it as Gallade or have a total of 7 posts (here in Psychic-Club) for a Gardevoir (15 posts* for members who joined after Mewtwolover).

** 50% Coupon is still up, divide that 15 by 2 and remember to round the decimal numbers for a whole number.

Grumpig? I forgot all about that guy. Can I change my least favourite Psychic Pokemon to him?

Hahaha no problem, but it's sad that there's one more hate for the swine POkémon!

Feel free to make a new topic, everyone! :) In case you're bringing up TCG or anime, just be careful not to stray far. As those stuff have their own sections, you don't wanna get reported/get interacted as off-topic by Alex. {XD}

There was a similar topic somewhere out here in the forums, something about having a gym. So that's the topic I'm gonna introduce today!

Imagine yourself being a Psychic-type Gym Leader/Elite Four. How would your gym/room look like? What would your team be? Wh
Of course, feel free to add more information to the topic. It's all for fun, go get creative!
I know, this is recycling my posts(cheater!), but here goes anyways {XD}

Well, I'd be named Animus, since that's Latin for 'mind'. Of course, that means I'll be a Psychic type gym leader. My team will consist of Pokemons with high Sp. Atk or are likely to one-hit with sheer power or cause red health. Starmie, Alakazam, Gardevoir, Sigilyph, with Espeon as my main pokemon.

My gym would be located in a town where Psychic pokemons are in abundance, and almost everything floats or aren't bothered by gravity at all. Inside the gym, it would be operated by sliding panels(like Liza and Tate's). They lead to the gym leader, but are incomplete. In order to complete them, the player must get a book which will be provided by battling the first trainer, and runes. There are two types of runes: one changes the direction of any panel, one allows you to add a panel. The player can change the panels by using the book. Runes can be acquired by battling trainers. It should be possible to reach the gym leader without battling every trainer.

My gym badge would be called Sapience Badge and have the design of an open book. I'd give out the TM for Psyshock.

I'd be the 8th gym leader.

Great idea.

My character would be called Leo and would basically look like me but in a black suit.

Early on in the story I will be seen reading a newspaper in the second town and when interacted with will give the player an Egg containing Gothita. This is the only way to get Gothita in this game and has a 1/100 chance of being shiny.

My gym would have warp tiles. If the player steps on the wrong tile the Gen 5 cry of Gothitelle will play before a trainer appears. When the player reaches me I will politely congratulate them before making a bad joke and engaging the player in battle.

Main Pokemon - Gothitelle

Team: Starmie, Delphox, Solrock, Gallade, Gardevoir and Gothitelle. (Last Pokemon)
Post Game rematch team - Starmie, Delphox Gardevoir, Reuniclus, Metagross, Gothitelle (Shiny)

I'd also have the Black Leaders last Pokemon music play during the last Pokemon battle.

I'd give out the Astral Badge which would be shaped like a Gothitelle Bow and the TM Trick.

I'd be the seventh Gym and after being defeated will give a short speech on using Pokemon the player enjoys using and congratulating the player again.

Let's see that was a topic I made for the Water-type Club around 2 years ago, then it was available at Gaming Central recently.

By the plot wise order, I would be the 4th Gym Leader to battle. Wonder Room effect is immediately in effect (think Battle Arcade) Exeggcute, Analytic Starmie, Analytic Elgyem, Magic Guard Duosion (Ace).

My badge would be called Seer Badge. My character will be an important one (along my fellow Gym Leaders), I will predict the possible calamities falling to the region I'm in (hence the badge name).

Your nickname: Uri
Your Psychic-Type Club-Campaign Partner: Gothita!
Reason for joining the club: I adore psychic type pokemon- almost all of my favorite pokemon are psychic-type. also, i'm looking to make friends & be part of a group!
Answer to the current topic (compulsory):
Imagine yourself being a Psychic-type Gym Leader/Elite Four. How would your gym/room look like? What would your team be?
I'd probably be something like Olympia; very regal, but instead of space-themed i'd probably do very sparkly & pink decor, since pink is a gr8 color tbh. might have a tiara & a poofy dress, but if i did wanna wear a dress my in-game character would have to be a girl... eugh. My team would be Chimecho, Gothitelle, Gardevoir, Starmie, and two female & male Meowstic. I'm not the toughest person (or the best at battling) so i'd likely be around the 3rd leader.
My badge would most likely be the Glamour Badge? i'd be all about Pokemon Amie and improving your bonds with pokemon, since I make sure all my main team pokemon have full hearts in Amie & it really helps me in battle (probably why i'm a huge softie) so yeah!!​

Welcome Uri! I really love the gym idea, it feels like the kind of gym that I'd visit again and again. The pokemons you choose would be challenging to the player if they encounter you. Hope you make a lot of friends here and feel welcome.

That's cool, perhaps something like Caitlin from the Unova region Pokémon League.

thanks for the warm welcome guys!!
i've actually only played Y & Alpha Sapphire, but i'll check caitlin out nonetheless.

i'm thinking of, instead of filling my entire pokedex ( i don't have the patience lmao ) maybe i'll just do psychic pokemon, which should keep me busy for a week or two.

Here you go. Quite regal, yes? :)

Yeah, completing the Pokédex can be a painful and time consuming thing to do.

For our new topic:
What do you think about Psychic-type's godlike status* in Generation I games?
(For those who are unaware, the stats we see Special Attack and Special Defense back in Generation I are one and the same stat, known as Special. That's why Mewtwo, Slowbro, Starmie and Alakazam are part of those deadly scary Pokémon -- if one isn't paying attention enough they can rip your team apart! Psychic-types were almost without weaknesses.)

You have to admit that because I never played a 1st Gen game that it took me a while to even realize this was actually a thing. So horribly unbalanced and it was no wonder why Sabrina was such a nightmare back then, because there was literally no good Bug-type moves and for some weird reason Ghost-type moves were unable to damage them. It was good to see the next generation patch up this with the Dark and Steel-types, along with the stat restructure.

IMO only Mewtwo and Mew really had godlike status in generation I games. Other Psychic-type pokémon weren't so strong that the type in general would've been too strong compared to others.

IMO Sabrina wasn't so hard that it would've been nightmare.
