Description

It is unlocked in the game, alongside Silver, by completing the Babylon Rogues' Story in Story Mode.

In this game, the Psychic Wave is slightly broad and bulky in structure and has a wave-like shape, with a pronounced front resembling an arrow head, and what appears to be a double exhaust ports in the back. It is mostly colored indigo, with a white top surface, stripes and wings on the front's sides, and has a purple highlight and two grey circular foot panels on the top.

"Little is known about the material used to craft this gear. Perhaps Silver brought it with him from the future."
