How to Get a Pokemon With Psycho Cut in Pokemon Legends: Z-A

In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the only way for a Pokemon to learn the move Psycho Cut is by leveling up. The game doesn’t offer a Technical Machine (TM) for Psycho Cut, so only certain Pokemon that learn it as they gain experience will be able to use the move.

Fortunately, many Pokémon can learn this move, and some are readily available early in the game.

Here’s a list of all Pokémon that learn the move Psycho Cut by leveling up, and the levels at which they learn it.

As a longtime Pokémon fan, I was surprised to find out that even though Pokémon used to learn Psycho Cut by leveling up in older games, you actually can’t teach it to them naturally in Pokémon Legends: Z-A. It’s a bit disappointing, honestly!

After you get a Pokémon that knows Psycho Cut, go to the Boxes or Party menu and select “Change Moves.” If the Pokémon is at the right level, you’ll find Psycho Cut listed as an available move to teach it.

The simplest Psycho Cut Pokémon to obtain is either Kadabra, because its earlier form, Abra, appears quite early in Wild Zone 5, or Honedge, which can be found in Wild Zone 4 at night. Any of the other Pokémon with this move will work just as well, of course.
