Psyche-Up

Okay, I know what psyche-up does (as in the definition), but I have a few questions about it: do you use it before or after someone gets a stat boost, and if you use it after, do you have to continue using psyche-up to get the boost, or is one good?!?

You use it after, and you copy ALL of the stat changes that the opponent Pokemon has at the time. So, that means if they have Attack raised three levels, and you use Psych Up, then your Attack will be raised three levels. If the opponent raises their Attack more, then you have to use Psych Up again to get more of a boost.

Oh, okay. Does psyche-up also work with your other pokemon in Double Battles?

This is the right answer.
