Closed Enquiry on Gen VI focus sash.

[drakcorian]

I had a mienshao in b/w2 with the regenerator ability, holding focus sash, and running this moveset:

fake out
drain punch
u-turn
stone edge

so everytime when it loses its hp to 1hp after a move that would otherwise sweep him,
i would just drain punch/u-turn or switch my way until it was full hp again, so the focus sash would take effect again.

does it apply also for gen 6? because i've just read on bulba that focus sash disappears for the battle and can only be activated once for x/y.

help on this please! and if possible, a better suggestion on what set i should run on my mienshao.

i would run high jump kick > drain punch, and give it a life orb, as it has regnerator for recovery. And yes, focus sash is a one time use

that explains a lot! thanks! though i'm considering other options rather than high jump kick because i'm not that much of a lucky player that can depend on accuracy, ahahaha! i'm even considering changing my stone edge for hp rock.

grass knot is also a special attack I would just keep stone edge
