Pokemon Legends: Arceus - The 5 Best Psychic-Type Pokemon (& Where to Find Them)

gamerant.com:

Back in the days of Pokemon Red & Blue, Psychic-types were among the series' very best Pokemon. With the introduction of secondary typings, however, the influence that Psychic-types have had on the Pokemon meta has gradually waned with each new installment and that's something that's definitely evident in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

This isn't helped by the fact that many of the series best Psychic-type Legendaries failed to make the cut for the Hisui Pokedex that's used in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. This isn't to say that there aren't still a few viable candidates for those who are looking to add a Psychic-type to their team, particularly once players gain access to the game's plentiful post-game content.

Though some may prefer Azelf for its significantly higher base stat total, Alakazam arguably has it beat in the areas that count most. Both Pokemon excel in the Speed and Special Attack departments and while Azelf does also have a high Attack stat, this is somewhat inconsequential given that most of the best Psychic-type attacks tend to fall into the Special category rather than the Physical one. With this in mind, Alakazam's marginally superior Speed and Special Attack stats just about give it the edge over its fellow pure Psychic-type Pokemon. To best utilize Alakazam, players should look for one with a Modest nature, though Mild will also work well.

Players can find an Alpha Alakazam in the Sandgem Flats area of the Obsidian Fieldlands. Alternatively, its unevolved forms Abra and Kadabra can also be found in the same place as well as near Lake Acuity in the Alabaster Icelands. Abra evolves into Kadabra at Level 16, and Kadabra evolves into Alakazam
