Alakazam with Confusion
Since Alakazam got a huge buff today, I was wondering if my Confusion/Psychic Alakazam would be worth powering up, or if Psycho cut is a must have. Abras are a little hard to come by here, so saving candies to evolve another might take a long time, and even then I might need more candies to power it up.

Depending on the speed of opposing quick attack, it could be 2, 3 or even 4 psycho cuts per dodge. A fast quick attack is also more flexible when dodging charge attacks only. - You are more likely to meet the 0,7-sec-dodge-window and not to be stuck in cooldown.
I really do not like confusion (and other slow quick-attacks) when attacking and use it only for defenders.
U still got better options. Only Golem and Rhydon became tier one with this change. Nevertheless, Alakazam became quite respectable. It's a good defensive moveset, and given its high CP, it will be decently placed in Gyms. It's a decent Gym option. I would still channel stardust towards other options: Snorlax and Vaporeon offensively, Rhydon defensively.
