On Smogon's Movedex: Generation VII Generation VIII Generation IX

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 next move to result in a critical hit, unless that move's target is immune to critical hits (such as with Lucky Chant or Battle Armor).

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

Description

Games Description SMUSUM The user concentrates intensely. The attack on the next turn always results in a critical hit.
