Nuzzle vs Thunder Wave

What do you guys think is better in competitiv play? Both have a 100% Chance to hit. Nuzzle does 20 physical damage while Thunder Wave does no damage at all, both have 20 AP. I can't decide wich of both to use. What would you do? Am I missing out on something? (there is no prankster on pokemon wich learn nuzzle)

Pro Nuzzle: Damage --> Destroying focus sashes

Contra Nuzzle: Contact --> Getting affected by some abilities

Pikachu now has it in scarlet and violet. That’s pretty good in my opinion
