Learn about the Inner Focus ability in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Discover which Pokémon have it and how it prevents flinching from attacks.
Pokémon with Inner Focus: Zubat, Golbat, Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Farfetch'd, Dragonite, Crobat, Girafarig, Sneasel, Snorunt, Glalie, Riolu, and Lucario.
Ability Description: When a Pokémon with Inner Focus is hit with an attack that would normally cause it to flinch (lose its turn), it will not flinch. This effect does not apply to the move Focus Punch, which can still cause a flinch.
Tips
- Inner Focus is useful for Pokémon that need to attack consistently, as flinching can disrupt their strategy.
- Be aware that Focus Punch is an exception and will still cause flinching even if the Pokémon has Inner Focus.
