Own Tempo

Description

Pokémon with this ability cannot be confused. If a Pokémon is confused and then gains Own Tempo, it is instantly cured of its confusion.

Competitive Use

Confusion-inducing moves are very rare in the competitive scene, with Dynamicpunch Machamp being the only notable user, making this ability more or less worthless. To seal the nail in its coffin, every Pokémon with access to it has much better options: Slowbro and Slowking have Regenerator, Ludicolo gains Rain Dish and Swift Swim, Grumpig can use Thick Fat, and Lilligant has Chlorophyll.
