Why is Stantler not a psychic type?

I’ve watched a lot of the Pokémon anime and Stantler REALLY seems like a psychic type but looking at its actual typing it’s Normal?! I’m very confused.

I think this can be explained like most Anime/Game Questions can:

The Anime, and the Games, are not the same thing

They do things and change things in the anime that aren’t in the games, also, like said above, Game Freak Logic. Sometimes the games and anime do not follow basic logic. Also, most Normal types are based on normal creatures we actually have. Common Birds(the regional birds) Kangaroos(Kangaskan) Tauros and Miltank(Bull and Cow)Source: Logic

The other answer is good, but I’m gonna give my 2 cents on this question. Most normal types are based on normal animals, or are animals, like bears(ursaring), kangaroos(kanghaskan), etc. Stantler is a deer, and do deer normally have psychic powers? No. Are deer normal animals? Yes. So they made it a normal type, but they also gave it psychic powers(pokemon can do that because the game isn’t supposed to be realistic, and they have done things like this before). Also, this is only my opinion.Source: My own logic lolI hope I’ve helped!
