Probably because of strongmen that can bend metal. I have to disagree a lot. I don't think Psychic is one of the worst at all, but one of the best. I can't pin a best down though. Were they immune to Ghost attacks in Gen 1? I don't remember that and recall in the show Ash specifically getting a Haunter to beat Sabrina.
Psychic.
*flips hair* bitch, first of all
The more I think about it, the more I think Bug is my #3 type. Yeah, they were super weak in gen 1, but now they have all those cool moves to handle psychic types that are very popular. And Volcarona's really cool. Did I say that already? It's worth saying again. All hail sun moth god!

As I've said, Talonflame is one of my all-time faves, largely because it combines two of my favourite types, Fire and Flying. Seeing as we're doing pictures now, here's a pic of it.

My absolutest favoritest Pokeymanz in the world is Smoochum.
So I went with Psychic.
Psychic was unstoppable in the original broken games and although they have come back down to earth since that time I still always try to have at least one on my team. Crunch and other Dark moves tear them apart and are a pretty common move but I don't care.
Electric is also a great type which usually has high speed and only one weakness. Unfortunately, Earthquake is one of the most common powerful moves that almost any big pokemon can learn. But it is fairly obvious to see it coming so just switch to a flying type at that point and your opponent just wasted a turn.

Makes sense. I remember reading somewhere that bugs were meant to be strong against psychics at the beginning, but something went wrong somewhere. I could be mistaken, though.
I don't even remember ghosts being that well against them despite that plot point in the anime.
Volcarona and Talonflame's designs look awesome. Why do so many people from my generation hate the newer Pokemon again?
Hmm... probably normal to be honest. Meowth is my all time favourite and Chansey, Snorlax, Exploud, Lickitung are all awesome pokémon.
Also, muffuggin DUNSPARCE.
As far as we can tell, Psychics were supposed to be weak to Ghost, but due to a programming error, they were immune instead. However, the only way to know this was to use Lick. Night Shade, being a set-damage move, ignored Types completely in Gen 1.
Which, oh, another problem. Even had Ghost been super-effective against Psychic, that would have only added Lick to its list of weaknesses.
But, no, the Psychic type is terrible. A lot of Psychic Pokemon are great, because they tend to have quite diverse movepools and pretty good stat distribution. But they only hit two Types super-effectively (Fairy has completely replaced it for killing Fighting Types, which was its biggest strength), and are walled by the most common Types in the game. Dark types are everywhere, Bug is way more common than it used to be, and Ghosts got a boost to usability with Psychic no longer resisting them, which just makes Psychic worse.
Really, replace your Psychic types with Fairies (if GameFreak didn't already do it for you, like they did with Gardevoir), and you will find yourself with a vastly better Typing that does what Psychic did, but better and without being walled by the first Dark Type to step on the field.
