I have an alakazam with psycho cut and psychic from when this moveset was insane. I powered it up to level 30 (cp2400, IV > 80). I recently evolved another alakazam from a high IV Abra (hatched) and got psycho cut and Future Sight.
Is this new alakazam that much better than my prior that it is worth the candy and dust to power it up? Should I just stick with the one I have because the difference would be small?
Charge move damage is 20% higher with future sight.
It's ~12 uses of PC to get full bar charged up. both have a 10~11 second cycle time. That's ~60 base damage from quick attacks, and either 100 or 120 from charge move.
Ergo, base damage per cycle is 160 vs 180, and cycles about the same length. DPS with the new one would thus be something in the neighborhood of 12% better, all else being equal.
I think you have to look at PC. It used to be the highest DPS but now its 10th lowest DPS and 4th highest EPS. Before you could spam PC only. Now the charge move is key with this type of quick move. IMO FS as a generalist is great but FB is the move for Blissey/Lax. Since PC is a energy move now I think Psychic is unusable.
