Accuracy can be increased by [[Ability|Abilities]], [[held item]]s, and increasing the accuracy stat; {{a|Compoundeyes}} raises the Pokémon's accuracy by 30%, {{a|Victory Star}} raises a Pokémon's accuracy by 10%, the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wide Lens}} raises the holder's accuracy by 10%, and the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Zoom Lens}} raises the holder's accuracy by 20% if the holder moves after its target from {{game|Platinum}} onwards.
