Psychic-type history
Psychic is one of the 15 original types from Generation 1 (1996), where it was famously overpowered with almost no reliable counters.
Generation 2 (2000) added the Dark-type largely to rein it in, since Dark resists Psychic and cannot be hit by Psychic moves. It has been a strong, balanced type ever since.
