To get a 
Focus Sash in Cobblemon, players can craft it directly at a crafting table using blaze powder, copper, and leather, or acquire it from structure loot chests.
Step-by-Step Crafting Guide
Crafting is the most reliable way to produce multiple sashes for your competitive team without relying on random drops in the wild.
Gathering Required Materials
Before heading to the crafting table, gather the following supplies:
- 2
Blaze Powder: Obtained by defeating Blazes inside Nether Fortresses and processing their dropped blaze rods into powder. - 1
Copper Ingot: Smelted from raw copper ore mined in stone layers underground between Y-levels 0 and 96. - 2
Leather or 2 
Red Wool: Harvested from cattle, horses, or sheared red sheep found in pasture biomes.
Crafting Grid Layout
Open a standard three-by-three crafting table:
- Place one Blaze Powder in the top-left corner slot.
- Place Leather (or Red Wool) in the center-left and center-right slots.
- Place a Copper Ingot directly into the center slot between the leather pieces.
- Place the second Blaze Powder in the bottom-right corner slot.
Retrieve the completed Focus Sash from the crafting result slot. Keeping a storage chest stocked with copper ingots, leather, and blaze powder allows you to replace consumed battle items easily between tournament rounds.
Finding Sashes in World Exploration
In addition to crafting, players exploring naturally generated structures can discover held items in treasure chests across dimensions:
- Dungeon and Stronghold Chests: Cobblestone spawner rooms and library corridors occasionally generate combat held items inside storage urns and chests.
- Nether Fortresses: Chests along fortress corridors and bridge bastions have chances to contain fire-themed battle gear.
- Village Toolsmith and Weaponsmith Chests: Chests in village smithies can roll rare adventure loot including combat accessories.
- End Cities: High-tier loot ships occasionally reward explorers with assorted competitive items.
Preparing Sashes for Battle
Once obtained, open your party summary screen and give the Focus Sash to your chosen Pokémon:
- Ensure that the Pokémon carrying the sash is not deployed into active entry hazards.
- Taking any prior damage negates its single-hit survival protection completely.
- Pair sash users with a teammate carrying Rapid Spin or Defog to keep the battlefield clear of Stealth Rock and Spikes.
- Check held items after wild battles if playing with consumable inventory settings to verify the sash remains equipped on your lead battler.
