Why would anyone want to use Psychic then? o-o Agreed. The same way most prefer fire blast over flamethrower, the same way people will prefer this over psychic.

Fire Blast and Flamethrower are used almost equally, it just depends if someone wants more power or more accuracy. The same would apply for this move.

It just seems kind of useless to me.

I'll try and be objective in my view: This move is a fire blast clone, I suppose, as it has same BP and Ac, with a 10% effect. I personally dont think it replaces psychic, as flamethrower(90BP 100AC) -fireblast (110BP 85AC) would be the same as psychic (90BP 100AC)-psychopathic (110 BP - 85AC) , with all 4 moves having a 10% effect. So there is no real problem in it being a clone as for what concerns me, since I run across both moves in games. However it does seem a bit uneeded in a way, and I woulda liked the name to be a bit "independant" from "psy-" but I suppose ur just following the pattern which is a safe way to go, making it okay.

Psychic has one of the best offensive coverages in the game and this is why it hasnt seen a 110/120 power move (Future sight sucks). I recommend lowering the amount of pokemon that can utalize this as it would be really amazing for some of these pokemon to get it.

People are talking about how this outclasses psychic, but it's easy to make it so it doesn't. I would recommend lowering the accuracy to 80, and removing the 10% effect to make it more like hydro pump. Even if it acts like fire blast to flamethrower for psychic, people will still use psychic because it's more reliable than that 80% accuracy (especially defensive psychic types)

Yeah @luxray but thats making the move unrealiable, which is a negative point toward accepting it

Change Accuracy to 85%, basically a Fire Blast clone, 90% accuracy makes more people use it n_n

Seems alright, since imo psychic type pokemon do need a bit more than just psychic and psyshock as viable options. I dont really see how psychic is a strong attacking type, as it is resisted by 2 types, has no effect on one and is only SE on 2, which isnt that different to many other types, such as electric. I do agree that maybe its accessability should be pretty low, like maybe restrict it to the more "pure" psychic types.
One thing though, Why is it a sound move?

I feel like the name sounds like more of an ability than a move, so I'd suggest changing that. I also feel that if it's targeting a foe's head, then it should be classified as a Physical move (or maybe a Physical move that hits Special Defense?).

Maybe a better name would be more linked to the mental breakdown effect of it more literally, if that makes any sense. Suggestion would be "mind crush" or something along those lines (was tempted to use a certain other word instead of "crush" lol). Dont think theres any reason to include physical stuff in the move.

This still just seems way better than Psychic. 20 BP for 10% accuracy is definitely a trade that I would make, and I don't really see how its sound-based either (note that this means that it also hits around Substitutes, which is a huge boon). "Psychopathic" also does not really sound like an attack, as the others have said; it sounds like an Ability.
