Focus Blast

Type Power Accuracy PP Priority Damage Target
Fighting 120 70% 5 0 Special Single non-user

Description

Deals damage and has a 10% chance to lower the opponent's Special Defense by 1 stage.

Competitive Use

Focus Blast is the most powerful special Fighting-type move in the game. It is also the least accurate. The move is essential for providing coverage on many special attackers, and its high Base Power makes it a superior choice against bulky special walls such as Tyranitar and Ferrothorn. If the low accuracy of the move is undesirable, Aura Sphere is a excellent substitute on the handful of Pokemon that learn it.

Related Moves

Aura Sphere is a weaker, more accurate option.

Hidden Power Fighting, while much weaker, is more widely distributed than Aura Sphere and is viable if special Fighting-type coverage is needed.

Thunder is an Electric-type equivalent in Base Power and accuracy, but has a different secondary effect.

Hurricane is a Flying-type equivalent in Base Power and accuracy, but has a different secondary effect.
