The Focus Band’s ability comes into play when the player’s health is at 25% or below, with a 138 second cooldown meaning the Focus Band can usually be used around 3-4 times per 10 minute battle. The item recovers the players HP taken by that point by 8/11/14% every second for 3 seconds.

The Focus Band level determines the boost in Defence stats. The held items level can be increased with Item Enhancers. A Level 10 Focus Band gives Defence +10 and Special Defence +10, Level 20 gives Defence +20 and Special Defence +20, Level 30 gives Defence +30 and Special Defence +30.

Pokemon with great max.HP are perfect as the Focus Band’s usage is based on the HP lost up to that point- the more it has lost, the more it gains back for the player in increments of 8/11/14% depending on item level (1/10/20).
