Defensive Hypno
What moveset you prefer? Confusion + Psychic or Confusion + Psyshock?
Answers
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.
