In November 2000 the psychic/magician, Uri Geller, sued Nintendo for using his image without his permission. The Pokémon Kadabra (know as Yungerer in Japan), is a psychic type that uses a spoon, which is Uri Geller's trade mark. The character also has a star on its forehead and lighting-bolts on his chest. Because of all this, Kadabra stopped appearing in the Trading Card Game until 2020, when Geller dropped the case following gradual fan requests over the years.

The virus will eventually dissipate after two days, all the while remaining highly contagious, though placing an infected Pokemon in the PC will cause the virus to last indefinitely. After the virus is gone, a smiley face (a red dot in Generation II) will appear on the formerly infected Pokemon's status screen, and the positive effects will still remain, particularly the increase in effort values

There's evidence suggesting that the psychic type in Pokemon is weak to bug, ghost, and dark types because they are basic fears, and fear can manipulate the mind. This is further implied by the ability "Rattled" (or "Jitter" in Japanese) where the user's speed stat is raised one stage when hit by bug, dark, or ghost-type moves, implying they have been shook up, or scared.
