Hi Bill! So, strange question here, but something seems to be wrong with my Espeon. He is somehow no longer able to use his psychic moves. Do you think he may be sick? How can I help him?

There’s a chance he might actually be exhausted, anonymous, which is good because that is perhaps the easiest problem to fix for a pokémon. The unfortunate side of it, though, is that you’ll need to give him some rest. That means no battling, limited use of his abilities, and plenty of sleep until he recovers. Also, monitor his diet and make sure he’s eating right. With this combined care, it may take a few days to a week before he’s capable of using psychic techniques again.

If he doesn’t improve, definitely consider taking him to a pokémon center for a stress test, to check his heart, and perhaps to test for parasites or bugs that may interfere with psychic abilities. Nurse Joy may also suggest other tests if none of these solutions seem to work.

Best of luck, and may your espeon get well soon!
