Trivia

• Focus Blast is the only special Fighting-type move that has an accuracy lower than 100%.
• In the pre-release material of the Japanese versions of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Focus Blast had a different animation: instead of "spreading" when it touched the opponent, it disintegrated.
• Focus Blast is the only special variant of Blizzard that was not lowered to 110 power in Generation VI.
• In an early trailer of Pokémon X and Y, Focus Blast's animation had a red background. In the final version, the background is blue.
• This move originated as an attack in the TCG.
