>>51294999Bugs are a common fear, and psychic represents minds, not just intelligence. Dim-witted and slow creatures like slowpoke are psychic types because it represents minds and mind powers, not necessarily intelligence. Psychic has been used at times to represent light as with necrozma but clearly that's not its main thing, seeing as how darkness is just as vulnerable to light as light is to darkness. The only way to explain the interactions between dark and psychic is that minds are afraid of evil.
>smart men aren't afraid of anything Not necessarily true, and again psychic doesn't always represent intelligence.
