Psychic back to a 2 bar move?

If Psychic went back to a two bar move would it then be Mewtwo's best move? Would a Psychic Alakazam be better than one with Futuresight?

Very possible. Would prolly need to see the cooldown and compare. do you have any info that says it will be changed back to a 2 bar? I actually kept my legacy pc/p alazkazaam so that would be cool.

No info I have seen. I just know that some moves will change. Psychic was 2 originally. Right now as a 1 bar it is not very good compaired with Futuresight. Also there are not any good 2 bar psychic moves. Just speculation.

Well Psybeam would have to be changed I think, else you'd end up with 2 very similar moves. Currently that's the closest equivalent to the old Psychic, but in it's current state Psybeam just lacks the damage, plus is a bit on the slow side. 70 isn't enough when you look at the best 2 bar moves such as Outrage, Wild Charge and Dynamic Punch.

Psybeam is the same damage and time as Crunch. It should be three-bars also. (It was a four-bar move before the Gen2 update.)

The other thing they could do is make Psychic have a very fast duration/cooldown so it has some angle compared to Futuresight. (or they could nerf FS and make it slower).

But making it 2 bars again would be better. I actually prefer to use my Shadow Ball Alakazam over Future Sight because he can get a few more fired off before fainting.

Nerfing FS is very possible, since in the main series, it hits after a few turns, so Niantic can make it have a very late dodge window, but still has the same cooldown.
