In addition to Sturdy's previous effect, Sturdy now works like a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, causing the Pokémon to have 1 {{stat|HP}} remaining if an attack's hit would have brought it from full health to 0 HP. Sturdy will activate as long as a Pokémon has full HP, and can therefore be used multiple times if brought back to full health. If a Pokémon with Sturdy is holding a Focus Sash, Sturdy will activate first. If a Pokémon with Sturdy uses {{m|Final Gambit}} while at full HP, it will still faint. | In addition to Sturdy's previous effect, Sturdy now works like a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, causing the Pokémon to have 1 {{stat|HP}} remaining if an attack's hit would have brought it from full health to 0 HP.

Multi-hit moves and {{m|Destiny Bond}} can break through Sturdy, much like Focus Sash. When a multi-hit move hits a Pokémon with Sturdy, Sturdy's effect activates only for the move's first hit only, and all consecutive hits can potentially KO the target. | Multi-hit moves and {{m|Destiny Bond}} can break through Sturdy, much like Focus Sash.

Indirect damage, such as [[Weather_conditions#Sandstorm|Sandstorm]], that would KO a Pokémon with Sturdy in one hit will not activate Sturdy. | ||
