Laser-Focus Move Detail

Laser-Focus is a Normal-type status move that guarantees the user's next attack will result in a critical hit. Introduced in Generation VII, Laser-Focus does not inflict damage itself and therefore does not have power, accuracy, or a specific target. This move is primarily used to set up high-damage strikes in subsequent turns. It can be particularly advantageous in strategic battles, allowing players to secure critical hits that bypass defensive boosts and deal significant damage to opponents. Laser-Focus is a unique move that highlights strategic planning and timing.
