What happens in this situation?
I have an Amoonguss and a Togekiss on my side of the field versus, say, Entei and Arbok. Amoonguss uses Rage Powder and Togekiss uses Follow Me. Entei targets Amoonguss with Sacred Fire and Arbok attacks Togekiss with Gunk Shot. Will:

I know that there already is an answer to this question, however after taking some tests on Showdown I found out that it is, in fact thelastuser of redirection that becomes the center of attention. So if Togekiss uses Follow Me first, and then Amoonguss uses Rage Powder, it’sAmoongussthat becomes the center of attention, not Togekiss.
Here are the tests:
-Test 1, where both Pokemon faint at the hands of the opponent. So we find out that the first attack goes towards Amoonguss and not Togekiss, and after Amoonguss faints Togekiss is attacked.
-Test 2, pretty much the same scenario as the previous one. But here Amoongusslivesthe first blow. We find out that the second blow, instead of going onto Togekiss, hits Amoonguss. This means Amoonguss was, in fact, the center of attention.
-Test 3, where it’s Togekiss that is the slower redirection user. In this, the situation of Test 2 is just reversed. Togekiss takes the first blow, meaning we can assume that it was the center of attention.
Hope I helped!
If another Pokémon on the same team is already the center of attention, the first user takes priority; if the first user is outside of range, is switched, or faints, the attack will be drawn to the next center of attention.
So basically, the faster Pokémon will become the center of attention, and the slower will take its place if the other is out of range, switches or faints.So in your situation, if Togekiss is faster, then it will use Follow Me before Amoongus and become the center of attention, causing both Entei and Arbok’s attacks to be targeted at it.
