Espeon confusion vs zen headbutt

I'd like to know which do you prefer in terms of attacking. Confusion has better DPS and slightly better EPS. So it's better when just spamming. But when dodging, with confusion you obviously hit once and then dodge. But the question is about ZH. Does it enables you to use 2 ZH before dodging or does this result in missing most dodges? Becouse if you can hit only one ZH, it is greatly inferior. But if you manage to hit it twice against most commone defenders, it is a clear winner.

I think we all agree that future sight is the best charge move so consider espeon to have it with ZH or C.

P.S. I have 96% espeon with C/FS

C is more of a defending move while ZH is better for attacking.

C is too slow even if it hits hard but ZH allows you to dodge more efficiently.

FS is clearly the best offensive charge move and PB the best for defense.

If you have any other mon with ZH (eggy for example) just test it out on a gym and compare with your Espeon to see the difference and which one you prefer.

In most case, you are able to use ZH 2 times before dodging. With dodging, ZH is definitely better than Confusion.

yesss, this 1.1 to 1.6 sec cooldown... in theory it makes ZH the better move.
not only because it will deal more damage to your opponent, but also reduces the number of dodges which are 25% hits.
in reality i can't use 2 ZH without getting hit a lot more than using one Cf.
either im too slow or too stupid to get the timing right or there is some lagging or ... whatever.
i do better with confusion.

I dunno. I have a couple of Exeggutors and based on experience, you can't really fit 2 ZH and dodge an enemy quick move. I always preferred C and now that it has been buffed, no questions about it. I recently evolved a C/PB Espeon and I find it surprisingly awesome even when attacking. I try to dodge everything and 2 bar moves definitely helps when using a glass cannon.
