Focus Punch Q's

[Ultramew]

Hiya Guys,

I've just got 2 questions about this attack.

A) I've read somewhere that there's a combo with FocusPunch and Protect, can someone tell me what this is?

B) Who learns it naturally??

Thanks for your attention.

I don't think there is a combo between those 2 moves... but, Focus Punch and Protect are both TMs, so I assume a lot of pokémon can learn both...

Shouldnt be combo'd with Protect, but Double Team.

Focus Punch is a highly powerfull Fighting type move. Your Pokemon will start by "tighting its focus", then your opponent goes. If your opponent doesnt score a successful hit, then you will end the turn with Focus Punch.

This all takes place in 1 turn, so you cant start it, then Protect, then finish. The actual Strategy is to Double Team up a couple of turns, making it more difficult to be hit, that way Punch is successfull. Btw, if you are hit while waiting to use Focus Punch, your Pokemon will Flinch

Double team eh? Thanks a lot ^_^

Spore is another move combo'd with Focus Punch, on Breloom. Most special conditions can be used to help Focus Punch, but I still don't think it's worth it.

Does anyone learn focus punch naturally?!

 

[invisible]

IIRC, the slaking line learns it... and just him i think...

 

[MilesReturns]

Yep, invisible's right and not even the whole Slaking line learns it. Vigoroth learns it, and only Vigoroth, level 43...

Who are you wanting FP on? I am sure a chain breed line may be possible. Not always, but alot of times it is.

Focus Punch is also good for S-sonic and t-wave....

i cant find the focus punch tm. i know it is on route 15 but where exactly?

You need to Surf up to the second beach, where Jigglypuff is. If you head north of Rustburo and Surf up, skip the first beach, stay to the left side and keep going up. There is a second beach up there, where you can explore, catch Jiggly, find TM01, and Iron, and some Kelpsy berries, aslo 2 trainers

 

[Ultramew]

Isn't that convenient? I was looking for a Slaking with Focus Punch ^_^ BTW, if I let a Vigoroth learn Focus Punch, can Slaking still learn slack off?

 

[MilesReturns]

Slakoth gets Slack Off at lvl 13, just don't get rid of it, then make sure Vigoroth gets Focus Punch at 43

 

[Ultramew]

Oh dear god, I'm not thinking straight today X_X Thanks for all guys.

Worse case scenario, once you evolve into Slaking, just use a Heart Scale at the Move Tutors house. If you accidentilly removed the attack already. Note this wont work while it is still a Vigoroth.
