PSI (Japanese: PSI, occasionally rendered as サイ) is a major mechanic in the Mother series.

Origin and discovery

PSI was originally used by Giygas's race. When George and Maria were abducted by these aliens in 1909, George studied the powers and eventually learned to use them and eventually passed them down to Ninten, his great-grandson. Much later, it was shown that in the year 199X, Ness, Paula, and Poo could each use different types of PSI.

Types of PSI

Each PSI move can have up to 5 ranks: α, β, γ, Σ, and Ω (Also π and Supr in Mother).

There are also four categories of PSI: Assist, Offense, Recover, and Other. Most offensive PSI can be countered by high ranks of PSI Shield or PSI Counter.

Qualities of PSI

PSI costs PP to use, which can be recovered by eating certain foods or resting at a hotel. When a character can't concentrate or is forgetful, they can't use PSI. In Mother 3, when a character is learning a new PSI technique, they will become feverish, slowing them to a walk.

Memo description

"PSI is a mysterious and useful power that can replenish your energy or even assist in your transportation needs. Using PSI will deplete your PP."
