Central Kalos#114Galar#208Blueberry#104Lumiose#043

There’s enough psychic power in Espurr to send a wrestler flying, but because this power can’t be controlled, Espurr finds it troublesome.
Shield
Though Espurr’s expression never changes, behind that blank stare is an intense struggle to contain its devastating psychic power.
Sword
It has enough psychic energy to blast everything within 300 feet of itself, but it has no control over its power.
Y · Alpha Sapphire
The organ that emits its intense psychic power is sheltered by its ears to keep power from leaking out.
X · Omega Ruby
