Fun Fact: Psychic Types still take 40 damage when hitting out of confusion, you think they'd fix that. Mewtwo just hammered itself
It was like that because confusion damage used to be considered attack damage. And since psychics are weak to psychic, the attack damage to them is doubled.
That rule was changed in the real card game forever ago.
