How to use it
Any Psychic-type attack becomes Max Mindstorm while its user is Dynamaxed. It’s physical or special, as that move is, and its power comes from that move’s. Dynamax is in Sword & Shield, not in Pokémon Champions.
Gigantamax forms with a G-Max Move of this type use that instead: G-Max Gravitas.

How it works in Gen VIII
Power is equal to the base move's Max Move power. If this move is successful, the effect of Psychic Terrain begins. This effect does not happen if the user is not Dynamaxed. If this move is used as a base move, it deals damage with a power of 0.
“This is a Psychic-type attack Dynamax Pokémon use. The user turns the ground into Psychic Terrain for five turns.”
