When exploited, although the player cancelled their decision to use Focus Punch, the game will display the message that the relevant Pokémon is 'tightening its focus',
▲The term '''Focus Punch glitch''' refers to a minor oversight regarding the move Focus Punch when it is used in [[bp:double battles|double battles]] in the [[bp:Generation III|third generation]] of Pokémon games. The glitch was fixed in the [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]] games.
This glitch occurs because in generation III, Focus Punch's charging turn priority is greater than that of other actions at +8. In later generations the Priority was lowered to -3 to prevent this glitch from occurring.
▲When exploited, the game will display the message that the relevant Pokémon is 'tightening its focus', although instead of usually performing the move Focus Punch or failing, when the glitch is exploited another action can be performed instead of the attack after the message is shown, such as the player switching the Pokémon.

Line 20 ⟶ 24:
If the player had chosen to switch the first Pokémon, it will tighten its focus but immediately be switched out after the message is displayed. If the player used an item, the item is usable as normal and the Pokémon would attempt to tighten its focus, but not perform the move, even if another Pokémon did not attack it.
