===Effect===
====Generation II====
If the Pokémon holding a Focus Band is hit by a damaging move that would cause it to faint, there is a ~12% (30/256) chance the Focus Band will activate and cause its holder to survive with 1 {{stat|HP}}. Focus Band can allow the holder to survive {{m|Future Sight}}. It cannot activate as a result of self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage.
 
If Focus Band activates as a result of a [[multi-strike move]], the holder does not faint from any of the strikes.
 
====Generations III to IV====
The Focus Band now has a 10% chance to activate. Focus Band now allows its holder to endure self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage.
 
Focus Band can allow the holder to survive {{m|Doom Desire}}.
 
====Generation V onward====
From Generation V on, Focus Band must trigger separately for each strike of a [[multi-strike move]].

{{main|Focus Band (Neo Genesis 86)}}
The Focus Band was introduced as a {{TCG|Pokémon Tool}} {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Neo Series (the Japanese Neo Era) in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion. It has never been reprinted.
 
If a Pokémon with a Focus Band would be Knocked Out, its owner may flip a coin. If heads, the Pokémon survives with 10 HP and Focus Band is discarded.
 
==Trivia==
*In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], {{p|Pichu}} can wear a Focus Band as one of its palette swaps.
