Focus Band

A Focus Band is a held item that has a 10% chance of causing an otherwise fatal attack (either direct damage or recoil damage) to leave the holder with 1 HP remaining. It does not prevent self-KO moves such as Explosion, Healing Wish, Memento, and Selfdestruct from causing the user to faint. It can be obtained as a tier 2 special drop. It is a possible drop from rare boss Pokémon, and from wild Medicham.
