Question about Mewtwo entry on attackers page
The attackers page lists only PC/FB as a great set. But Mewtwo’s page rates C/FB and PC/FB equally. Is this an error on the attackers page, or is Psycho Cut preferred when paired with FB?

Confusion is more damage overall, and there isn't a huge emphasis on dodging gym defenders - the whole point of Focus Blast Mewtwo over Machamp is not needing to dodge Psychic/Dazzling Gleam/Zen Headbutts. However, as Psycho Cut is high EPS, a greater portion of the damage is attributed to the charge move instead of the quick move. In this case, Mewtwo will do more Fighting type damage than the Psychic damage of quick moves. Because Focus Blast is effective and Psycho Cut/Confusion is not, maybe this is why it's listed this way?
I'm still not sure which does more damage to a target vulnerable to Fighting damage, but my money's on Confusion.
Both are nice and it largely depends on personal preference - if you are a dodger, go for Psycho Cut; if you are a DPS maximizer, go for Confusion.
As for the reason why the Attacker Tier list only lists PC+FB as Great, it’s just that different people are writing different pages and therefore some inconsistencies are unavoidable.
