Focus Energy Competitive Analysis

Focus Energy is a status move that raises the user's chances to land a Critical-Hit. This move is useful when paired with moves that naturally have high-critical ratios such as Razor Leaf and Cross Chop.

However, we recommend picking a different move instead. Using your Pokemon's strong STAB move is always a better option as critical strikes aren't that valuable. Additionally, items like Razor Claw provide similar effects without wasting a turn to set up.

Focus Energy Locations

Purchase from the Wild Area Trader

The Watt Traders' selection of TM and TRs changes everyday so make sure to check what's in stock!

A Possible Drop from Max Raids

It's also possible to get Focus Energy from Normal-type Max Raid dens as a reward for defeating or catching the resident Dynamax or Gigantamax Pokemon.
