I know they don't work in Psychic Terrain, but do they affect Upper Hand?

Best answer

Upper Hand has a priority of +3. If the target has selected a physical or special move with increased priority from +1 to +3 and has not yet had a chance to execute its move, Upper Hand will strike first and cause the target to flinch; otherwise, Upper Hand will fail. It also works on Abilities that give priority to moves, such as Gale Wings.

Prankster is an ability that increases the priority of status moves by +1, so Upper Hand will not work if a Pokemon with Prankster uses a status move.
