On Smogon's Movedex:

Lock-On (Japanese: ロックオン Lock-On) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Generation II

The next move made by the user of this move against the target will not miss, even if the target uses a move with a semi-invulnerable turn like Fly. If the target switches out, the effect of Lock-On wears off. This effect can be passed by Baton Pass.

Lock-On does not allow the user to bypass protection moves.

Metronome ignores the effect of Lock-On in favor of its random targeting.

Lock-On's accuracy is 100%.

Generation III

Lock-On's effect now lasts until the end of the next turn rather than until the user makes its next move.

While Mind Reader prevents the user's move from missing if it targets the affected Pokémon, it does not prevent its target being changed by move-drawing moves and Abilities.

Lock-On can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing certain moves (Superpower, Thunder, Tri Attack and Zap Cannon) to have their base appeal doubled.

Generation IV onward

The move Lock-On now bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly.

Lock-On can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing a one-hit knockout move to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Lock-On, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
