* In Generation III, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|Focus Punch glitch|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. | * In Generation III, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|Focus Punch glitch|a glitch}} will cause the user of Focus Punch to prepare to use it, but not execute the attack.

* {{p|Shroomish}} and {{p|Togekiss}} are able to learn Focus Punch, despite lacking any visible hands to use the move. In Shroomish's case, it is likely explained by the fact that it evolves into {{p|Breloom}}, which not only has arms, but also is a Fighting type. The fact that Togekiss can learn the move is likely due to the fact that it evolves from {{p|Togetic}}, a Pokémon that does have hands. | * {{p|Shroomish}} and {{p|Togekiss}} are able to learn Focus Punch, despite lacking any visible hands to use the move.
