GoldenHouou, Leaf Green is correct in thinking that I was thinking of Tyranitar as a physical pokemon. I know psychic moves won't hurt Dark types but I believe that you can still use the move to move them around. And as far as having to see the pokemon for psychic to work, it is called precognition. This is where someone can see what is about to happen next. It is how some psychic's know when someone is coming. Therefore, my Alakazam had a mental picture of the Tyranitar and psychic could affect it but not hurt it.
Before I say anything, I suggest we delete the three OOC posts in the actual thread. Agreed? I will delete mine after I have posted this.
Oh, and sorry if I caused trouble by starting this thingie, I just feel the need to always point out if someone, for example, uses move that Pokémon can´t learn and so on. Eh, that´s just what I´m like. ^_^'
But at the problem at hand...
Yeah, Tyranitar is "Physical Pokémon", but still a Dark Type. I don´t know how the psychic powers are meant not to effect Dark Type, though. It might be that since Physic attacks are mental, those Pokémon that are considered dark, have somekind of protection over their minds, like a veil or something.
And yes, I know what you mean by precognition. But going by your logic, it would be possible to move anything, no matter how far away it is, as long as the Physic user has seen it, or predicted it to be there. Now that would be... kinda overpowered, yes?
But, anyway, what do we do now? ... I have a suggestion, I think... Of course, its just a suggestion, you don´t have to do it. What if you made the Alakazam move away the door instead? That is something it can see, and definately not a dark type. ^_^;
Anyways, I´ll go delete my OOC post now in the thread. I´ll wait for your answer.
