If a Pokémon becomes the center of attention by using {{m|Follow Me}} or {{m|Rage Powder}}, it forces opposing Pokémon to target the user rather than the intended target for the rest of the turn, if it is a valid target for those moves (even if it was a friendly target, unless it is a move that cannot target an opponent such as {{m|Acupressure}} or {{m|Helping Hand}}). If a move cannot target the center of attention, it will be used on its intended target. It does not affect allies.

If the center of attention [[Fainting|faints]], [[Recall|switches out]], or is taken into the air by {{m|Sky Drop}}, it no longer draws moves.

In [[Triple Battle]]s, the center of attention will draw the attacks of all opponents in the field, but it can only draw attacks from non-adjacent opponents if they use a {{cat|Moves that can target non-adjacent Pokémon|move which is able to strike non-adjacent targets}}.

 

The center of attention cannot draw {{cat|moves with a charging turn}} like {{m|Sky Drop}} or {{m|Solar Beam}}.

 

The center of attention draws {{t|Electric}}- and {{type|Water}} moves even if a Pokémon with {{a|Lightning Rod}} or {{a|Storm Drain}} is on the field. If another Pokémon on the same team is already the center of attention, the first user takes priority; if the first user is outside of range or stops being the center of attention, the attack will be drawn to the next center of attention.
