'''Focus Energy''' (Japanese: '''きあいだめ''' ''{{wp|Kiai|Fighting Spirit}} Improvement'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].<br />
<br />
==Effect==<br />
===Generation I===<br />
Focus Energy worked incorrectly in Generation I. While it was intended to multiply the user's [[critical hit]] ratio by four, it instead divides the critical hit ratio by four. Focus Energy will be removed by switching or {{m|Haze}}. The effect of Focus Energy cannot stack, and it will fail if the user is already under its effect.<br />
<br />
In Stadium, Focus Energy was fixed to increase the user's critical hit ratio with this formula: <code>(BaseSpeed + 236) / 512</code>{{tt|*|(Base Speed + 76 ≫ 2 ≪ 2 + 160 ≫ 1) / 256}}<br />
<br />
===Generation II===<br />
Focus Energy increases the user's [[critical hit]] ratio by one stage. This effect can be transferred by {{m|Baton Pass}}.<br />
<br />
{{m|Haze}} no longer affects Focus Energy.<br />
<br />
Focus Energy can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Arm Thrust}}, {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Cross Chop}}, {{m|Double-Edge}}, {{m|DynamicPunch}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, {{m|Sky Uppercut}} and {{m|Take Down}}) to have their base appeal points doubled if used in the next turn.<br />
<br />
===Generation III onwards===<br />
Focus Energy now increases the user's [[critical hit]] ratio by two stages instead of one.<br />
<br />
Focus Energy can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Aeroblast}}, {{m|Attack Order}}, {{m|Blaze Kick}}, {{m|Cross Poison}}, {{m|Drill Run}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, {{m|Leaf Blade}}, {{m|Night Slash}}, {{m|Poison Tail}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}}, {{m|Shadow Claw}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}} and {{m|Stone Edge}}) to gain extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.<br />
<br />
If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Normalium Z}} into Z-Focus Energy, the user's {{stat|accuracy}} raises one stage.<br />
