Co PS Jynx - any use

I hoped for a double-ice-jynx, but i am not successfull yet. Now i noticed, that the pure psychic-moveset - Confusion Psyshock seems to be pretty good - on paper.
This jynx seems to be a glass cannon as alakazam, but with less power, and ice-typing.

Has it proved usefull for anyone?

Hi, I found a nest of Jinx "near" my house... i'm going to check out today but it's a nest because I found 2 yesterday and there was 2 today. That's a RARE pokemon no way it's no nest...my sister caught one like 6 months ago and mine escaped...

I got yesterrday Confusion and Avalanche 1800!+ CP IV decent.. like 09 14 07 =/ low attack but I should test it.

Confusion + Avalanche should be fine against dragonite. I don't know, if it is faster than cloyster.

[Edit:
Simulation shows, that it is faster than cloyster, two seconds roundabout.]

Not very good.
Jynx in general isn't very good (nor is she particularly rare...). A very glassy glass cannon with double ice moves, for use against a single gym-relevant pokemon which has multiple other hard counters (cloyster, piloswine, lapras)....

Yes, the double ice-variant is pretty cool, by far the fastest dragonite-slayer.
My question was more about the double-psychic variant.

A 2100 CP Jynx can take down a 2600 CP Blissey, dodging the charge moves of course. I'm not sure if moveset matters. FB/A takes it down with 30 seconds to spare.

no use, I have double ice jynx, hits hard but faint quicker... compared to piloswine, lapras and cloyster.

I ran through the type guide trying to hit on something. I got nothing. He only resists Ice/Psychic. So no special double resistances which he would really need considering how fragile he is. And with that not in his favor and so many others with more balanced and strong base stats wielding Psychic moves it's tough for me to find a mon to try him against.

Jynx is good as double ice if you can't get a double ice Lapras.
.
Jynx is good as a double psychic only if you desparately can't find a good epseon, executor or alakazam. Psychic types primarily serve to knock out fighting types also, which you rarely see in gyms. So in general, no it is not worth much. I would spend your dust elsewhere until you find a better psychic type.

Before transfering her try on a zen headbutt snorlax:

On EQ probably even better than HS.

Really common here and seen 164, caught 75, but still no double ice with decent iv (>80).

The dodge bug makes Jynx very hard to use IMO...

Dragonite hits very hard to begin with and I have a wild caught level 29 or 30 (forget) very high IV (95%?+) Confusion/Avalanche Jinx and it's hard to win if the Dragonite has Outrage or Dragontail...

Once they use their charge move, I'd get dodge bugged...I will have to try again maybe, but it was not great (of course, I have 3 Lapras so maybe my experience is jaded since not getting dodge bugged, 1 Lapras can clear near 2.5 Nites).
