Alakazam with Confusion

I just evolved my first Alakazam and it has the following characteristics:

Moveset: Confusion & Psychic
IV: 88.9% (best one I got so far)
WP: 1618

Now I'm not sure if I should power it up or not (my trainer lvl is 31). Collecting the candy took me really long...
Is the moveset acceptable for attacking? Does someone have experience with it?

Alkazams unique selling point is psycho cut. In combination with his high attacking stat, he is the strongest generalist attacker in game.
Confusion is more defensive (strong and slow) and not really good when attacking. Alakazam has too low defensive stats to be a good defender.

=> Unfortunately, the moveset Confusion+xxx on Alakazam seems to be useless for me.

So basically if it has Psycho Cut that's all ? Doesn't even matter what charge attack it has ?

I thought having Psychic as charge attack was a huge boost, despite having also Psycho Cut.

Im powering up an alakazam with psycho cut shadow ball.
There is no need in charge attacks if he knows psycut. Its crazy fast and good and if u charge a psychic u will kill faster but take hit while cooldowing and die
You have to keep dodging to keep alakazam in game. Thats why charge move dont count to me in his case

It is basically Exeggutor minus 50 HP... Confusion is slow, I tried two and both are Confusion.. just not right. Get another one and if it has Psycho Cut you can dodge properly everything. The charge attack doesn´t matter because you just take more damage during it. It must be much more fun

Confusion is good if you attack once and dodge once.
thats 15 damage per dodge

Psycho cut you can attack 2-3 times per dodge depending on how good you are at dodging
so 14 or 21 damage

I would keep it personally since its a good attacker still and even better defender
