Should I remove Confusion, Fire Punch or Shadow Punch from Haunter to get Dream Eater in Gen I?

Question

So, I'm playing a generation one game, and my Haunter is level 29. It knows Hypnosis, Fire Punch, Confusion and Shadow Punch. It will learn Dream Eater in 10 levels, and I want to know which move I should remove.

Comments

iirc Shadow Punch didn't exist in gen 1, it came in gen 3 :I

Can't even learn elemental punches in gen I :\

Naw elemental punches have always been there.

I think you meant to say for FireRed and LeafGreen, which are both Gen 1 remakes but are effectively Gen 3.

Answer 1

Just based on your current moveset, Dream Eater can replace Confusion, mainly because it complements the use of Hypnosis, and both moves have the same typing.
