The gen 6 animations for most Psychic type moves were serious weaksauce though. I'm glad gen 7 at least improved them a little, though I think the higher-end attacks like Psychic still feel a little lacking in oomph. Confusion is just about right, now.

The japanese name translates closer to Bravado.
The pokemon essentially shows off to pump itself up before attacking, which explains the whole glowing thing.
So it's less "I was pretending to be weak" than the Pokemon doing it's best to be/seem brave.
