There are many options for Psychic-type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, many of them being legendary Pokémon. As legendary Pokémon are;t always the easiest to get ahold of, and some situations require the use of a Psychic-type Pokémon, the best non-legendary in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the newly introduced Wyrdeer.

Other strong Psychic Type Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Strong Psychic-type Pokémon can be the same from game to game, and that is mostly true in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Classic Psychic-type choices like Espeon and the Ralts line of evolutions, Gallade and Gardevior, are always safe bets for players needing a strong Psychic-type attacker.
Espeon
Espeon is a part of the Eevee evolutions and stands as one of the better Psychic-type Pokémon in the franchise. Espeon has decent stats all-around and has a really impressive special attack.
