Inner Focus (ability)

Inner Focus is an Ability introduced in Generation III.

In battle
Inner Focus prevents the Pokémon from flinching. However, Pokémon with this Ability can still flinch to a Pokémon with .

While some descriptions state that the user flinches, Focus Punch failing due to taking damage is not flinching, so the move is unaffected by Inner Focus.

Outside of battle
Inner Focus has no effect outside of battle.
