For the most part, the mechanics behind Confusion have not changed a great deal since Generation 1, again unlike many other status conditions. However, there have been updates to how Confusion works alongside certain held items. In Generation 2, Focus Band was introduced as an item that has a low chance to prevent pokemon from being knocked out by move-based damage. However, even though the damage caused by Confusion is the result of a damage calculation just like an incoming attacking move from an enemy, it does not trigger the effect of Focus Band.

As the franchise's games became more complex and more capable of holding new mechanics, the developers made it so that Focus Band now can be activated by the self-damage dealt from Confusion's effect. Focus Sash, an item very similar to Focus Band, was added to the game. Like Focus Band, it can be triggered by the self-damage of Confusion's effect. Though, since Focus Sash only activates when the holder has full HP when hit, it doesn't matter quite as much due to it being very unlikely that an afflicted pokemon will be able to one-shot itself with the 40 base power Confusion self-damage.

An excellent example of this is found in Matthew 14 when Jesus invited Peter to come to Him on the water. What enabled Peter to walk on the water?
