Focus Punch is a highly-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III.

Effect

The user of Focus Punch will charge up during the start of then turn, then attack on the end, unless it is hit by the opponent's move, in which case it will lose its focus and be unable to move.

If used in a double battle, the user will make its move the last of all four Pokémon. The Pokémon will be unable to make its move if hit before launching the attack.

In Mystery Dungeon Focus Punch can still be initiated even if its hit but it does less damage.
