'''Psyche Up''' is a recurring skill in the {{DQSeries}}.
 
It first appeared in {{DQ8}}, where it increases [[Tension]] by one level.
 
Note that this is an entirely different skill than the [[PsycheUp]] featured in {{DQM}} and {{DQM2}}, having different effects and a different name in Japanese. It is also a seperate skill from the skill "PsycheUp" that appeared in the {{PlayStation}} Version of {{Dragon Quest VII}}, which is now known as [[Focus Strength]] in the modern English localization.

All six player characters have '''Psyche Up''' as one of their basic commands. Psyche up will increase tension without fail to 50, but will then drop to only a {{fraction|1|3}}rd chance to raise a character to 100 tension. For this reason, it is strongly advised to use the [[Timbrel of Tension]] in conjunction with this move during the end-game.
*Many {{MFamilies}}s are capable of psyching themselves up in battle, as well, although most are not capable of reaching Super High [[Tension]]. [[Brownie]]s, [[Ice queen]]s, [[Siren]]s, [[Captain Crow]], and some of the forms (Golden, Divine, and Ultimate) of the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] have variations where they are capable of gaining two levels of [[tension]] in a single turn. Sirens and [[Ice queen]]s can also psyche themselves up to the third level of tension in one turn. [[Brownie]]s and the Golden dragon are even capable of reaching a state of Super High [[Tension]] in a single turn.
Other enemies that can psych themselves up include [[Mischievous mole]], [[Spiked hare]], [[Hood]], [[Buffalo wing]], [[Mad mole]], [[Soul Mole]], [[Bomboulder]], [[Bulldozer]], [[Hoodlum]], [[Jackal ripper]], [[Golem]], [[Ice queen]], [[Hellhound]], [[Red horn]], [[Stone golem]], [[Dark dullahan]], [[Buffalogre]], [[Dullahan]], [[Statue of Yangus]], [[Belial]], [[Heavy hood]], [[Hell's gatekeeper]], and [[Soul Mole in Memoriam]].
