Yawn is decent but takes some precision prediction to pull off competitively and doesn't even fucking matter in regular play because of items. You still get a turn to attack and your opponent is wasting a turn using yawn so it balances out even if they're faster.
Confusion is pretty shitty but unreliable as it wears off when switching out and doesn't guarantee an effect. At the very least Paralysis will always slow something down 4 stages.
Coincidentally I think Paralysis is the most broken status. 100% infliction move + several 30% infliction moves (one of which works on ground types), almost guarantees you go last in turn order, and often just fucks you over by not giving you a turn.
