How it works in Champions
If the current is Psychic Terrain and the user is , this move hits all opposing Pokémon and has its power multiplied by 1.5.
“The user attacks the target with its psychic power. When the ground is Psychic Terrain, this move's power is boosted and it damages all opposing Pokémon.”
