Is Future Sight or Psychic better for Alakazam?

Question

I have no clue which move would be better. You can attack over and over again with Psychic but, Future Sight has more power. I don't know.

Answer 1

Future Sight may seem good, but it isn't really. In-game it isn't too bad, but in competetive, the opponent can just switch into something like a Dark type, and completely avoid it altogether. Psychic or Psyshock is much better for competetive, but in-game, you might even try both, but more often than not the battle will be over before Futire Sight has even taken effect. Overall, using Future Sight is not advisable.

Comments

Future sight can hit dark types too cause it hits with typeless power. Though that is for gen 2-4. But if you are playing gen 5 onwards then Don't use Future Sight. I know I am commenting after 3 years but its for people seeing after writing this.
Also you can go for a bug,fighting or fairy(if gen 6) move when future sight is going to hit by predicting their dark type to come in.
