Defensive Hypno

What moveset you prefer? Confusion + Psychic or Confusion + Psyshock?

Both movesets are good. Psyshock firing much more often, though. The problem with defensive Hypno isn't moveset, it's CP which is too low for gyms.

Yeah just to give you a comparison I powered up a 97% (44 IV) Hypno to level 30 and the CP is 1867. In my local area that wouldn't be something I put in gyms.

I do occasionally use my Hypno as a Poison Attack, but honestly I wish I didn't waste the dust on it, because most of the good poisons are dual type and I simply have better Fires for Poison/Grass or better Waters for Poison/Ground.

Confusion & Psychic for me, but both are good movesets.

I like Hypnos both as solid defenders and attackers - enough stamina to face off weighty opposition, no great vulnerabilities and good movesets.

In my town an 1800 CP will get you in the top half of a gym.

Candy is easily available, and decent wild Drowsy at around 700cp aren't uncommon for evolving, leaving only limited stardust expenditure.

Damn, in my city all gyms are level 10 with the lowest mon being at least 2400. I wish there were gyms like that around here.

Small town with three reasonably balanced teams. The handful of gyms rarely last 24 hours and rarely get above lvl7. Running out of pokeballs and from a battling point of view revives & potions is a problem due to the lack of pokestops too.
