Focus Sash

Focus Sash is a held item in the Pokémon series that provides a crucial strategic advantage in battles. When a Pokémon holding a Focus Sash is hit by an attack that would knock it out from full health, the item ensures that the Pokémon always survives with 1 HP. This effect only works if the Pokémon is at full HP when the potentially knockout blow is dealt.

Effects: - Focus Sash prevents a Pokémon from being knocked out by a single attack that would otherwise reduce its HP to zero, provided the Pokémon is at full health. - After activating once, the item is consumed and cannot be used again unless the item is regained through moves or abilities like Recycle.

Strategies and Usage: - Focus Sash is commonly used in competitive battling on frail but powerful attackers, known as "glass cannons," such as Gengar or Alakazam. This allows them to survive a strong hit and counterattack, often taking out threats that would have otherwise defeated them

Held: If the holder has full HP and is attacked for regular damage that would faint it, this item is consumed and prevents the holder's HP from lowering below 1. This effect works against multi-hit attacks, but does not work against the effects of Doom Desire or Future Sight.

Short Effect: Held: Holder survives any single-hit attack at 1 HP if at max HP, then the item is consumed.

Held: If the holder has full HP and is attacked for regular damage that would faint it, this item is consumed and prevents the holder's HP from lowering below 1. This effect works against multi-hit attacks, but does not work against the effects of Doom Desire or Future Sight.
