Confuse Ray Effect

Confuse Ray In-Game.jpg

Has the user fire a sinister ray in the designated direction, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon it hits. If this move hits Pokemon from the opposing team, it also leaves them confused. While confused, Pokemon continuously attack nearby Pokemon with basic attacks. Confused Pokemon will target nearby Pokemon in the following order of priority: first, their ally Pokemon; then, wild Pokemon; last, Pokemon on the user's team.

Confused Target Priority List

Priority Level Target
1 Confused target's allies.
2 Wild Pokemon
3 User's allies

The confused target will first prioritize attacking its allies, then wild Pokemon, and lastly your allies.

How to Use Confuse Ray

Set Up Knockouts

Use Confuse Ray on an opponent to force them to attack a target, setting up a knockout for your team. However, remember that the confused target will attack and move faster once the move is upgraded, which can be good or bad depeding on the situation.

If you're the only target available or there are allies nearby, the confused opponents will target you or your allies, so make sure you or your nearby allies have enough HP to tank the damage. You can also just burst the target down quickly.

Use on Grouped Opponents

Use Confuse Ray on a target that is close to its allies, forcing the target to attack them instead of your team.

Prioritize Damage Dealers

It's best to target opponents that have a high damage output when using Confuse Ray since it can turn their damage against their team.
