Confusion is a special Psychic-type attack from the Pokémon series that was introduced in Generation I. It is often learned by Psychic-type Pokémon at low levels, considering the move's weak power, and has a small chance of confusing the opponent (hence its name). In all games, Mewtwo is able to learn Confusion at level 1, though it requires a {{iw|bulbapedia|Move Reminder}} to actually learn it after being caught since the Pokémon is usually encountered at much higher levels. Due to this, while Mewtwo is programmed to learn Confusion at level 1 in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red and Green}}'', it can't learn it due to the lack of a Move Reminder in these games, meaning that Confusion Mewtwo was effectively unused until ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Stadium 2}}'' introduced it. | |||
In the anime, Confusion could be used to halt and throw a Pokémon or a projectile through telekinetic powers, resembling its effect in ''Smash''. | In the anime, Confusion could be used to halt and throw a Pokémon or a projectile through telekinetic powers, resembling its effect in ''Smash''. |
