Learn about the Inner Focus Ability in Pokémon Platinum. Prevents flinching from attacks, but not Focus Punch. Includes Zubat, Riolu, and more.
Pokémon with Inner Focus:
- Zubat
- Golbat
- Abra
- Kadabra
- Alakazam
- Farfetch'd
- Dragonite
- Crobat
- Girafarig
- Sneasel
- Snorunt
- Glalie
- Riolu
- Lucario
Ability Effect: When a Pokémon with Inner Focus is hit by an attack that would normally cause it to flinch (lose its turn), it will not flinch. This means it can still attack even if hit by a flinching move. However, this ability does not prevent flinching from the powerful move Focus Punch.
Tips
- Inner Focus is particularly useful against opponents who rely on moves that cause flinching, such as Fake Out or Rock Slide.
- Be aware that Focus Punch will still cause your Pokémon to flinch, even with Inner Focus.
