Does Own Tempo prevent self-inflicted confusion?

Question

If a Pokemon uses a self-confusing move like Outrage, Petal Dance, or Thrash and its Ability is Own Tempo, will it get confused?

Are there any Pokemon with Own Tempo and can learn a self-confusing move?

Answer 1

Yes. " pokemon with this ability can't be confused." Teeter dance is a pretty common trick to use with this. grumpig, licklylicky, purugly, slowbro, slowking, smeargle, and spinda are the only gen I-IV pokemon with this ability. If a pokemon gets this ability from something like skill swap, and they were already confused, then they won't be instantly cured of confusion upon receiving the ability.
