On Smogon's Movedex:

Laser Focus (Japanese: とぎすます Hone) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation VII.

Effect

Laser Focus causes the user's move to result in a critical hit until the end of next turn, unless that move's target is immune to critical hits (such as with Lucky Chant or Battle Armor).

The effect of Laser Focus can be copied by Psych Up or Transform.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Laser Focus, the user's Attack stat rises by one stage.

Description
