Could someone tell me what are hypno best attacks? I have a 100% iv hypno with confussion and psychic attacks and one site says they are the best moves. I know hypno isn't one of strongest Pokemon for battle but if this has best moves I will power it up as much as I can as it will be the only Pokemon I have that I can't get one better than.

Fast attacks: Zen Headbutt (11.43) Confusion (9.93).

Charge attacks: Psychic (19.64) Psyshock (14.81) Shadow Ball (14.61).

So you have the worst fast attack but the best charge attack, pretty good overall.

It might not look it but hypno is one of the best for gyms, due to the way defenders attack in gyms it attacks back as quickly as it can. (Defenders attack every 1.5 seconds so no point in having a Pokemon with quick recharge rate because it won't attack quicker) also there are no Dark type Pokemon to attack it and the only ghost type is vulnerable to psychic and there are no good bug types so far
There are many forces in this world.
Some are good, some are bad.
Some we can see and some we can't.
Some we know about and others we are yet to discover.
Don't let anyone tell you anything is impossible.
For there is no one in this world you can truly know for sure.

It's a decent Defender. In the top 20, and that's saying something.

And in my opinion, you have it's best moveset. An oft-cited Silph Road user (several users, really) put together a good little chart you might be interested in seeing with movesets and rankings:

I've looked on a few sites and seems debate able which fast move is best. It says confussion does more damage but takes longer between uses and zen head butt less damage but can have more uses in short time. Is that right? Confussion used once is stronger than zen head butt but zen head it could be used twice in time it takes confussion to be used once?

Parts of this thread will give you insight into what all goes into ranking these moves for the infographic I linked you to. Type advantage is also a factor, as well as how quickly a move will charge up your secondary move.
