Super Smash Bros. series

Mewtwo uses 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.

Trivia

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 exactly the same effect as the move Psychic.
A majority of the time when Confusion is featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, it causes the Defending Pokémon to be Paralyzed rather than Confused.

 '''Confusion''' (Japanese: '''ねんりき''' ''Mindpower'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].
 ==Effect==
 Confusion does damage and has a 10% chance of {{status|Confusion|confusing}} the target.
+Confusion can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra two appeal points if any of the moves {{m|Calm Mind}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, or {{m|Psychic}} was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, doubling the base appeal points of {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, {{m|Psychic}}, and {{m|Teleport}} if used in the next 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]].
