Artwork
In the manga
Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!!
In Walkthrough! Battle Tower!!, Yū had given his Infernape a Focus Sash to hold, allowing it to survive a Golem's Earthquake at the Battle Tower and then defeat it with a Grass Knot.
Pokémon Adventures
A Focus Sash was seen held by Darach's Houndoom in Getting the Drop on Gallade II, allowing it to survive a super-effective Focus Blast by Platinum's Lopunny. In the same chapter, Platinum was revealed to have rented a Focus Sash for her Empoleon to hold in the Battle Castle.
In the TCG
- Main article: Focus Sash (Furious Fists 91)
The Focus Sash was introduced as a Pokémon Tool card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). It was released in the Japanese Rising Fist expansion and the English Furious Fists expansion, with artwork by Toyste Beach. In Japan, it was later reprinted in The Best of XY subset. If a Fighting-type card Pokémon with this card attached has full HP and would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack from the opponent's Pokémon, it is not Knocked Out and instead its remaining HP becomes 10. Afterwards, the card is removed from the Pokémon and discarded.
