==Effect==
==Effect==
===Generation I===
Confusion does damage and has a 10% chance of {{status|Confusion|confusing}} the target.
Confusion does damage and has a 9.8% chance of {{status|Confusion|confusing}} the target. Confusion can't confuse a target that is already confused.


In [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]], Confusion can't confuse a target that has a {{m|Substitute}}.
Confusion can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Teleport}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Calm Mind}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, or {{m|Psychic}} was used in the previous turn.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}} uses {{sbw|Confusion}} as its side special move. The move acts as a grab, ignoring shields while flipping the opponent in midair. Additionally, the move is capable of reflecting projectiles, although they would not damage the initial user of the projectile in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. This was fixed in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

* Description prior to Version 2.10.0 (from June 28, 2021): Has a very small chance of leaving the target confused.
 
==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Confusion is {{p|Mr. Mime}}'s and {{p|Gardevoir}}'s first move and {{p|Hoopa}}'s second move
 
Mr. Mime can obtain it by reaching level 4 and upgrading {{m|Fake Out}} into it instead of {{m|Psychic}}. The user fires a wave of psychic energy, damaging and knocking enemies back. Enemies hit into a wall take bonus damage and are stunned for 1.5s. Enemies debuffed by Guard Swap take bonus damage and are stunned, but are not knocked back. At level 11, its damage is increased.
 
Gardevoir starts with the move as {{p|Ralts}}. The user fires a piercing bolt, damaging enemies.  At level 7 at {{p|Kirlia}} stage, the move is replaced by either {{m|Psychic}} or {{m|Moonblast}}.
 
Hoopa starts with the move. The user unleashes a telekinetic force in the designated direction, dealing damage to the first opposing Pokémon it hits. The telekinetic force clings to that Pokémon and then causes a delayed explosion. The explosion deals damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and decreases their movement speed for a short time. At level 4, this move is replaced by either {{m|Hyperspace Hole}} or {{m|Trick}}.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* "Confusion" may not be an entirely correct name, as in the case of the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Confusion often causes its target to float in midair, which may not make sense to those unaware of the attack's original Japanese name of ''Mindpower''.
* The English name of this move is semantically dissimilar to its Japanese name, ねんりき ''Nenriki'', which can be translated to mean ''mindpower''. This has been known to cause some confusion when depicted in the English dub of the anime.
** In the anime, Confusion seems to have the exact same effect as the move {{m|Psychic}}.
* In the anime, Confusion seems to have exactly the same effect as the move {{m|Psychic}}.
* A majority of the time when Confusion is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], it causes the Defending Pokémon to be {{TCG|Paralyzed}} rather than {{TCG|Confused}}.
