Is Future Sight worth having on an Alakazam? I think the concept of a
delayed attack is interesting, but a move that causes damage
-immediately- seems to be more useful. Comments?

I've been wondering what the point of Future Sight is, myself.
According to Serebii.net, it is a Psychic-type attack that be used in
the Smart Contest, has a power of 80, an accuracy of 90, 15 PP, an
appeal of 3, and no jamming. From personal experience, I found that if
you try to use it again before the two turns are up, both fail. There
are definitely more powerful, accurate, and cheaper moves that don't
take as long to hit. I think this move is more of a novelty than
anything else.

Yeh I find it useless. With crap accuracy and not as strong as Psychic, it's
pretty much pointless. If it had a power of over 100, then it might be worth
the delay.
