Focus Punch glitch: Difference between revisions

 

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.
