Here's why:
* Telekinesis and Psychokinesis: Silver's primary ability is his telekinesis, allowing him to move objects with his mind. He also displays psychokinetic powers, like using his mind to manipulate energy and even teleport short distances.
* Precognitive Abilities: Silver also has precognitive abilities, meaning he can see glimpses of the future. This allows him to foresee potential threats and act accordingly.
* In-game Abilities: Silver's powers are showcased throughout the Sonic games, particularly in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Sonic Frontiers.
While other characters have psychic-like abilities, such as Espio the Chameleon's illusion and hypnosis techniques, Silver is the only one explicitly classified as a psychic.
