0 power points, psionic focus.

[Yogibear41]

If there a trick a psionic character with 0 remaining power points can do to still be able to gain a psionic focus?

Preferably something that doesn't involve items.

Mystic Focus feat (Dragon #349) allow to lose a 1st-level spell to gain psionic focus (automatically, no Concentration check)

These only give you a container for focus. Gaining focus still demands you have power points.

Linked Bestow Power. Do all of your wilder azure whatever stuff and empty your PP manifesting a power and just link that power to Bestow Power so you gain 2 pp next round.

I believe that If you have the psionic subtype, you should be able to

Be an NPC controlled by the DM. NPCs are automatically assumed to begin each encounter psionically focused as long as they have at least one feat or ability that cares about it.

So like Troacctid said, there are several monsters in the expanded psionics handbook that have 0 power points, but have psionic like abilities, which can gain a psionic focus.

So theoretically, a Divine Mind with the Ectopic Ally alternate class feature psionic like ability, could still gain a psionic focus, even if he has 0 power points left?

PLAs don't allow you to gain psionic focus AFAICT. They only allow you to take psionic feats. You still need power points.

NPCs are different. They can start every encounter with psionic focus, even if they have no power points. This is explicitly only for non-player characters.
