Psycho Cut is cut in half, is it still a good fast move on Mewtwo? Should Confusion be used? Time will tell.

Confusion is already better for a Psychic attacker, but Psycho cut won’t be that good now.

Psycho Cut now is good at charging the charge move faster than Confusion, but given its 50% nerf, is it still worth to keep?

I guess @Necrozmadabest will be mad that mud shot is being nerfed because… chomp!

Also, just wanted to say that these are the only 2 important moves.

(Besides Shadow Claw)
