'''Confusion''' (Japanese: '''ねんりき''' ''Mindpower'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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.
