:::::I just realized that it's actually not that hard to test it—just equip a type-boosting item, compare damage taken when trying to use a move with the corresponding type and one without. I tested in RS, and received the exact amount; so type-enhancing items apparently don't boost confusion damage. (I can't rule out they do in some later game, or some other items do, but I wouldn't really expect it.)

== Naturally learning attacks of every type == | |||
I can't seem to find it now, but I remember reading Mewtwo's trivia section a while back and seeing something like "Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of every type except Dragon." Since then, I've counted the type diversity of every learnset I've seen on Bulbapedia and Smogon, and it seems like the only Pokémon who can learn attacks of every type is Mew. The ones who have type-changing gimmicks can't – Arceus can't learn Fairy moves, Silvally is missing Fighting, Ground, Psychic, Grass, and Fairy, and Kecleon doesn't have Fairy, Poison, and Dragon. I've also checked Smogon favorites like Gengar, Tyranitar, and Absol that sell themselves on diverse coverage, but they're always missing some. If Mew's the only exception to this, should it be mentioned as a pattern in learnsets? [[User:High5|High5]] ([[User talk:High5|talk]]) 22:40, 24 October 2017 (UTC) | |||
