I just don't understand, why would gamepress think that Psychic is the best defensive move for Slowking

Water Gun doesn't rate, so obviously Confusion is better. But, Confusion/Psychic, just deals little damage to Tyranitar lol. Blizzard, at least, deals neutral damage to Tyranitar, and even considering STAB, it has a higher base power. It should be strictly superior to Psychic, not on par. Unless you are using Iron Tail + Fire Blast, dodging those Psychics shouldn't be a problem with your Tyranitar for most experienced players.

I still say that the defence moves of anything other than Blissey are X.

Meh. At the very least it's worth considering what movesets perform the best against the popular generalists/counters to popular defenders, like Dnite, Ttar, Raikou, maybe Machamp. Planning for what people will bring to the battle will at least make bringing down the gyms a bit more difficult than normal.

Except that a gym can have only one Blissey.

My Chansey and Slowbro tend to stay longer in gyms than my Blissey.

Then who is the better defender? 100 CP Blissey or 4000 CP Slaking?

Because it’s for ALL Matchups not just one specific one. Plus stab and now weather bonuses too.

Because there is no way in hell where i get hit by a blizzard. It takes 2 years to charge.
On the other hand, psychic suprises people half of the time.
