Psychic move does normal dmg while it should do 2x

[Drxyed]

Hello,

 

right now i am at hoenn, trying to beat Brawly in his gym. My issue is, that my Misdreavus, with psychic attacks, got no dmg boost towards Makuhita or Heracross, which i really dont get.

Is there any game mechanism i dont understand, bcs in the normal games, psy moves should inflict twice the normal damage (statedon every pokemon site).

 

Thanks for your help.

What move are you using? It will help to understand your issue better. As far as I know, moves like psywave don't go with the type chart, instead their power is between two values and it is random every time (similar to magnitude).

Still, if you can, write what psychic move you were using, since some function differently (Psychic is a strong special attacking move, Psybeam is its weaker version, same with Confusion) (Psywave does a randomised damage, Future Sight does damage after two turns). Just in case for when Staff come and read this post, it might help them spot a bug :)

Depending on what properties are pitted it should or shouldn’t is depended on it because it is part of the game
