Focus Sash

[Mawouel]

79070 Oh so focus sash is 1 time item use? Well that sucks tbh...

Is it the only item that has one time use? ( Competetive item ofc not like revive etc )

Because normally Focus sash is a one use item IN the battle.. I do not know if they will change this in the future but it actually takes 1-2 weeks to get a new focus sash.

 

Yeah that's what i said, it's like making air balloon one time use (for pvp) in my opinion. It is an important item for the metagame and decides a lot about mindgame too. Because playing around focus sash and faking to having one equipped is an important part about what makes Pokemon PvP mindgame so interesting. Prediction/switches are one part, but playing around items is important too. I take air balloon and focus sash as exemples because they basically change the playstyle of your Pokemon. And they make entry hazard much more important, which is interesting to a certain extent (when will i want to rapid spin, will i play a taunt opener...)

 

Anywyas, this kind of items has for main purpose to deepen the PvP gameplay and to offer more counterplay and possibilities to the game, and having them not reliable for PvP is a bit sad :/

 

But i think we can say the same about widening TM pool, egg moves, etc etc, the only difference here is this could be quite easy to fix.
