Psychic Guide:

Psychic types, as implied by the name, are unique in their abilities to use their highly evolved brains as a weapon. However, both in and out of battle, every species of Pokémon is unique. As such, a guide has been developed as a reference to all RPers on the abilities of their psychic pokemon.
Psychic Abilities
 

Telepathy*- the ability to project the Pokémon’s thoughts in the minds of willing creatures, or read the thoughts of a willing being.

Telempathy- the ability to read the emotions of other creatures, or project their own emotions into a willing being.

Minor telekinesis(MT) –the ability to lift or manipulate an object no larger than a pokeball. Not steady enough for delicate work, such as cutting with scissors or drawing.

Levitation-the ability to raise their own body off the ground using telekinesis. The height that the user can float is affected by their type and level, but is very rarely above 5 or so feet above ground level.

Barrier manipulation-Allows Mime Jr. And Mr.Mime to form their barriers into other shapes, such as simple objects or tools. The use of this ability takes time and as such, is not practical in battle.

Precognition -allows the user to predict the future. Method and duration is listed with the pokemon. RPers cannot describe what is seen.

Any unlisted Pokemon have unrecorded psychic abilities, likely due to their rarity.



*Telepathy:
Any psychic type can potentially become telepathic. If the Pokémon does not start out with this ability, it can be taught as if it were a move. If ‘Telepathy’ is partially learned, the accuracy of the Pokemon’s speech will likely reflect the percentage learned.
Do note that telepathy is intended as an RP device and isn’t intended for combat.

Other methods of Psychic communication:

Confusion:
The attack ‘confusion’ is based largely on the use of imagery implanted in the target’s mind. Using this benevolently can allow a Pokemon to communicate with its trainer by placing images in their head that correspond with what they want to say. However, since the vast majority of Pokemon can’t read or write, the transmission of written words through this ability are not usually a viable method of communication. Any Pokemon/person who isn’t willing to receive the imagery will unconsciously resist it, causing damage appropriate to the move listed in the attack dex.

Any Pokemon that knows the attack 'Confusion' may use this method of communication.

Quote:
 
Confusion: Projects a field around the user that allows it to use the opponent's mental energy against them. Doing so allows the user to move the opponent around with telekenisis to a limited degree, but drains energy depending on the opponent's size and intelligence. After the attack is over, the disruption in the opponent's mind has a 10% chance of confusing it.


Espeon and Medicham:
Medicham and Espeon are unique in that their precognition does work in battle. They can use this ability to roughly predict the movements of the opponent's core body by reading their auras, and can use this to gain a slight advantage. However, this doesn't allow the Pokemon to predict the movements of the opponent's limbs or the attacks/moves they will use. It is up to the ref's discretion as to how this will be used in specific circumstances.
