Collector Insights

Focus Sash is an Item card from the The Best of XY set, released on April 21, 2017. Designed by artist Toyste Beach, it serves as a defensive support tool for Fighting-type Pokémon. The card’s flavor text describes a scenario where it prevents a Knockout under specific conditions, adjusting the Pokémon’s HP to 10 instead of reducing it to zero. It does not feature any attacks or printed HP values, emphasizing its utility as a situational shield. The card’s mechanics trigger when attached to a Fighting Pokémon with full HP that would otherwise be knocked out by damage. Its function concludes with the card being discarded after resolving the effect. This card is part of a collection highlighting iconic Pokémon TCG moments, reflecting its thematic role in competitive play. The absence of attack details aligns with its classification as an Item, focusing on defensive interaction rather than direct combat.

If the Fighting Pokémon this card is attached to has full HP and would be Knocked Out by damage from an opponent's attack, that Pokémon is not Knocked Out and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead. Then, discard this card.
