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. |

==Explanation== |
|||
When a player's Pokémon uses the move Focus Punch a [[flag]] is checked so that at the end of the player's turns his or her Pokémon will attempt to 'tighten its focus' with high priority. A simple oversight for double battles however, was that the same address remains unchanged when the player presses the B button to return to the first Pokémon's turn, so another action could be chosen with the flag still checked. By using a move other than Focus Punch the flag is unchecked for the relevant Pokémon, although another action such as switching a Pokémon or using an item will keep the flag in its previous state, hence it is possible for that Pokémon to have tightened its focus but not necessarily use Focus Punch at the end of the turn. |
