>>23227444I think psychic need that extra defense for how crippled offensively they have been since Gen II.
While psychic learn a wide array of moves, fighting (not counting focus miss) and bug moves(and even then running bug is almost a waste nowadays) are hard to come by for them.
Psychic only hits one really good type(fighting) and one less common (poison), and even then a dark dual typing just shuts them down. Dark is literally made to fuck psychic for how OP they were in Gen 1, but now psychic typing is almost a determent offensively and slightly defensively.
I know its pretty chickenshit to give Normal more to worry about when they can't hit SE anyway, but I feel its for the best that Psychic not be reduced to ass just for Gen 1's mistakes.
