Focus sash gives you a 100% chance of surviving with 1 HP if you get knocked out in ONE hit. That means Stealth Rock and other entry hazards kill this item. On top of that, it means this item can't be used on Tanks (like Metagross) to allow them the last laugh when they know they're going down in one more hit. The item is far from broken; you have to know how to use it right, or it won't work at all.
Point taken. Only Focus Band is now banned. Any other objections regarding rules @ everyone?
