Claw has a shorter cooldown meaning once you attack with claw you can attack again quickly. This is good for spamming attacks and dodging.

Pulse has a longer Dodge window. Meaning its damage is not completely negated by dodges. Since you can't dodge while on defense and the attack speed is locked in at 1 attack per second, the cooldown is not as important .

the ai attacks different than a person attacks. this is why.

ai attacks every 1.5 seconds. . so obviously its better to use the strong power move. a person can attack immediately after an attack. so this is where DPS comes in.

That makes sense. But then shouldn't hydro beam be the strongest defense move?

im going to assume you mean hyper beam instead of hydro pump, and it works kind of funny, because you need lower energy to do dragon pulse than hyper beam and dragon pulse takes less time to pull off. because a defender only attacks every 1.5 seconds, its hard to gauge which move is better until you actually run some formulas. the rule of thumb that more dmg = better defensive move is good to follow, but in this instance dragon pulse pulls ahead
