Competitive Analysis

Zen Headbutt is a physical Psychic-type move that has a chance a 20% chance to make its target flinch.

This move is a great choice if you want to disrupt your opponent by making them flinch.

Zen Headbutt is powerful and a great fit for physical attackers, although Psycho Cut, if the Pokemon can learn it, can be a viable alternative with its chance to land critical hits.

Zen Headbutt vs Extrasensory

Zen Headbutt and Extrasensory may have the same power and can both make their targets flinch, but they have a key difference.

Zen Headbutt is a physical move that relies on the user's Attack stat and should be used by physical attackers.

Extrasensory on the other hand is a special move that relies on the user's Special Attack stat and should be used by special attackers.
