Powerful and unreliable, but always good if you have no better options.

A good option. Not something I would usually rely on, but it's there in case I need it. I like it.

I never use attacks with less than 90 accuracy so I've never used it before.
Don't know.

Fantastic attack unfortunately given a bad rep for its low accuracy. Many special attackers value the fighting coverage, especially against steel types.

>>32121900
Checked
75 accuracy would've been nice. 80 might actually break it.

Shitty, unreliable move unless you use it exclusively with your Z crystal.

Literally "High risk, High reward" the move. Thanks to Z-moves through, Focus Blast is one of the best attacks to make use of Z-crystals.

Would never use it unless I can raise my accuracy. Focus Blast's accuracy is just so shit.

The Fuck "Tyranitar and Heatran in particular" move, it takes some knowledge of team building to actually appreciate this move instead of people trying to mitigate the weakness or use inferior choices with high accuracy that can't get the job done.

Praise the focus blast.

It's kinda dumb that there's no weaker, accurate special Fighting type move with wide distribution.

The point of Focus Blast is that you sacrifice reliability for extra power. Problem is, without Aura Sphere you don't have to option of opting for the weaker, more reliable move. Everything's just stuck with Focus Miss unless you want HP Fighting.
