Future Sight Why?

[ninjascyther]

There is probably a smart answer to this but why use future sight when it does less damage than psychic and has the delayed turns?
Does anybody sucessfully use it in a strategy because i cant think of any reasons. ;123;

only Psychic move that can hit darks. I also hear it is a pretty good smart contest move too.

1. hits dark type pokemon
2. IIRC it goes after protect so if a pokemon keeps protecting itself then it hits it after the turn. I haven't done that often so I may be wrong.
3. It's an option for pokemon that don't learn psychic but would do with with a psychic type move.

Future Sight delivers a typeless Special Attack in two turns. Personally, I have no use for it, since my Psychic-types are already good sweepers.

I guess you could toss it out at the start of battle, then you'll deal extra damage 2 turns later.

 

[Mudskipper]

Yeah, I guess it could be useful that way, especially if your opponent forgets that you used it.
