47. Focus Blast
Nominated by: Wicklebee
Introduced: Gen IV
Pokemon I associate this move with: Gengar
Focus Blast ended up being one of the great new moves of the change in Gen IV to physical and special moves. Suddenly, you could hit types weak to Fighting moves in the defensive slot that they weren't jacked up in, as well as giving a powerful Fighting move to Pokemon with good special attack. It adds versatility to Pokemon like Gengar and Alakazam. So why isn't it higher? It's a matter of over-saturation. The moves ahead of it either interest me more, are more useful, have better animations; there's literally nothing wrong with Focus Blast except maybe it's accuracy. There were just too many good moves on this list to justify it getting much higher, for me.
