Inner Focus (Ability): Difference between revisions

Inner Focus (Japanese: せいしんりょく Force of Will) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Twenty-six Pokémon can have this Ability.

Effect

In battle

Inner Focus prevents flinching. However, it doesn't prevent loss of movement when the user is attacked whilst using Focus Punch as the user doesn't actually flinch, but rather the move fails.

When its effect activates, the quote "<Pokémon> won't flinch because of its Inner Focus!" will appear.

Outside of battle

Inner Focus has no effect outside of battle.
