Focus Energy (Japanese: きあいだめ Fighting Spirit Improvement) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
Effect
Generation I
Focus Energy worked incorrectly in Generation I. It quartered the probability of the user scoring a critical hit. 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 works correctly; it quadruples the probability of the user scoring a critical hit.
Generation II and on
Focus Energy was fixed so that it works correctly; it now quadruples the probability of the user scoring a critical hit instead of quartering it. Therefore, the user is more likely to score a critical hit rather than less likely.
