They're also part Flying as well, which gives them an advantage over Bugs that not many Psychic-types have. Also, if mine is any indication, they're not terribly difficult to train, though there are always exceptions... but staring off into the distance rather than causing trouble seems to be a species characteristic, if the Pokedex entries are anything to go by. Supposedly, Xatu can see the past and the future at the same time, but I'm not sure if that's a legend or if it's true. It can be difficult to tell, sometimes.
