Focus Energy (Japanese: きあいだめ Fighting Spirit Improvement) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation I.

Effect

Generation I

Focus Energy worked incorrectly in Generation I. While intended to quadruple the critical hit ratio, instead it will have no effect if the user is faster than the opponent, or prevent the user from getting a critical hit (0/511 chance) if the user is slower than the opponent. Focus Energy can only be removed by switching or Haze. Focus Energy will fail if the user is already under its effect.

In Stadium, Focus Energy was fixed; it quadruples the probability of the user scoring a critical hit.

Generation II and III

Focus Energy increases the critical hit ratio by 1 stage. This effect can be transferred by Baton Pass.

Generation IV and on

Same as in Generations II and III, except that the critical hit ratio is now increased by 2 stages instead of 1.
