"[Discussion] is Zen Headbutt really Exeggutor's best Fast Move for Gym Offense?"

#PokemonGO: I'm confused as to why Zen Headbutt is seen as Exeggutor's best fast move for Gym Offense, instead of Confusion, when dodging is taken into account.I see two styles of how gym offense can play out, since not dodging really isn't an option:Scenario 1 attack with fast moves within every 1.5s window, such that you dodge all enemy attacksScenario 2 attack non-stop with fast moves, dodging ONLY the enemy charge movesLet's take the first scenario where all enemy attacks are dodged (ignoring STAB effects since attack types are the same):With Zen Headbutt taking ~1s, you can only attack once for 12 damage and charge your energy by 4.With Confusion taking ~1.5s, you still only attack once for 15 damage, yet charge your energy by 7In this dodge-everything scenario, I struggle to see how Zen Headbutt is the better offensive fast move. Am I missing something?In that second scenario we assume you attack nonstop to get the actual DPS of each move.For every 3s interval, with Zen Headbutt you do 36 damage and get 12 energy.For every 3s interval, with Confusion you do 30 damage and charge energy by 14.This means Zen Headbutt gets you 20% more damage than Confusion (36/30 = 1.2), with the tradeoff being ~14% less energy (12/14=.857).But, since you're not dodging the enemy fast moves, instead of taking 25% damage you take 100% - a fourfold increase in enemy attack damage. Scenario 2 seems to be a losing play.tl;dr ignoring what the "numbers out there" say, why is Zen Headbutt better than Confusion? via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2bILOI8
