Why is psychic attributes in Pokemon seem... weak?

General
Okay okay, let me TRY to explain this as best I can.
I put some depth of thought into a factor about strengths in the ESPer variety of this series. The problem?
It's REALLY NOT as powerfully fitting what such abilities CAN do compared to the descriptions media would present throughout time.
Since when METAL can flatout not get ruinated with a mind-bullet? Why is shadowy-toned enemies completely nullify
Extra Sensory Perceptions by just STANDING in front of a psychic burst of energy, and make it gone with mere wicked thoughts?
Call me loopy, but... I think Gamefreak haven't got the sheer extent on how fearsome having psychic might is, on a conceptual level.
Yes, not all ESPer display isn't always Locke the Superman or Tetsuo levels, HOWEVER, if you going to include characters who have
such abilities, could you not make the Type freaking poor? I mean, it's infuriating enough the coverage is bad comedy.
YET, while attempting to balance things out because of the Gen 1 incident, they totally forgot to add another type or two to HELP it.
Why am I giving all these words? It's from a feeling that said typing doesn't hit my desired tier of prowess or spacial content
and wish there is something greater to match. I suppose my own two original types fit the bill, better.
Alas, most fan-made Types pail in comparison to the officials by accountability in real existence, regarding if they can improve
the game Type's concept. Another unfortunate fate is, ya can't really associate the name "ESPer" yourself without a Psychic-typing.
It's in the Japanese version's NAME for deity's sake, unless you disregard canon and do this on something ELSE...
like the old-as-a-legend fanmade Cosmic-type, which DOES contain Psychic-type similarities while nailing a firm grasp
about the latter's link to space, itself.
I hope other people can comprehend what my mind's forming, here. Oof~

FA+

But, since Ambipom isn't in Smash Bros, I don't have much to say for the ones got in.
