* Since Focus Punch has a higher [[priority]] than {{m|Avalanche}}, {{m|Revenge}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, or {{m|Circle Throw}}, they are unable to break the focus of a Pokémon using Focus Punch. Thus, they and Focus Punch itself are the only attacks that can strike a Pokémon in the same turn it successfully uses Focus Punch, without the use of {{m|Quash}} or {{m|After You}}.

* In Generation III, {{DL|List of glitches (Generation III)|Focus Punch recall bug|a glitch}} will cause the user of Focus Punch to prepare to use it, but not execute the attack. This glitch is triggered by selecting Focus Punch in a [[Double Battle]] on the first Pokémon, pressing the “B” button, then switching out the first Pokémon. When the battle is conducted, the first Pokémon will tighten its focus in preparation for Focus Punch, then switch out. This is due to charging turn having a priority of +8, and therefore being executed before switch out.
