M2 fast move
Guys, what is the best? Psycho cut or confusion?
Answers
Psycho Cut's DPS is 8,33. Confusion's is 12,5 which is 50 % more. So DPS is not on par.
PC has more EPS (PC 13,33; C 9,38). PC has a shorter cooldown so it's easier to dodge with.
I haven't seen that PC can compare to C when trying to solo a raid. It is possible that in some cases it might, especially if you can more reliably dodge with PC. Dodging with C is really difficult.
Confusion is the best and strongest fast move in the game. It does more damage than psycho cut. However psycho cut it very fast and very easy to dodge with, and I believe builds energy faster. So if you are using Mewtwo as a ghost attacker (shadow ball) or are fighting gyms (focus blast) psycho cut helps charge those moves faster.
For a generalist/raid attacker for max damage the move set Confusion + Shadow Ball is the best.
Confusion is the better move DPS-wise in a vacuum and hits really hard against defenders weak to it. Psycho Cut charges energy faster and is better against defenders resistant to Psychic when the charge move is super effective (e.g. Shadow Ball vs. Mewtwo).
Ultimately both are viable and I TM between the two when the situation warrants it.
Paired with shadow ball, confusion is better for raids, unless the boss resists psychic attacks, or in the rare cases when dodging is necessary (e.g. focus blast Gengar). For gyms, I would choose psycho cut for its dodgeability and faster energy gain, but I don't find shadow ball Mewtwo to be particularly useful for gyms, because SB is doubly resisted by normal types.
Paired with psychic, confusion is better.
Paired with focus blast, I like psycho cut better, because FB Mewtwo is much more useful in gyms than in raids, and psycho cut works better in gyms.
Personally, I have a C/SB, a PC/SB, and a PC/FB powered up, and I hope to add a C/P eventually. That should be about all the Mewtwos I need.
Depends on the charge move. Psycho Cut goes well with Shadow Ball in my experience since I normally use it to target bosses weak to ghost. The extra energy gain helps me fire more Shadow Balls off.
Confusion should be paired with Psychic for maximum psychic type DPS.
I haven't used Focus Blast but I could see either move working well. Confusion if general DPS is your game, Psycho Cut if the boss resist psychic but is weak to fighting I guess.
