Provenance

Where it came from

The Focus Band was introduced in the Neo Genesis expansion, released in the year 2000 as the first set to feature Pokémon from the Johto region. The expansion marked a pivotal shift in the trading card game, transitioning from the original Base Set mechanics to include new card types such as Pokémon Tools. These items were designed to be attached to active Pokémon, providing persistent effects that added a layer of strategic depth to the competitive landscape.

The illustration for this card was created by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and art director for the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori utilized a minimalist, functional aesthetic intended to represent the item's role as a tactical combat accessory. Upon its release, the card was received as a versatile defensive utility, valued by players for its ability to prevent a Pokémon from being knocked out in a single turn, remaining a staple of early competitive play.
