==Effect==
==Effect==
===Generation II to IV===
===Generation II===
Mean Look prevents the target from switching out or fleeing (including via {{m|Teleport}}). The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.
Mean Look [[Escape prevention|prevents]] the target from [[Recall|switching out]] or [[Escape|fleeing]] (including via {{m|Teleport}}).

The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.
 
It will hit the target even if it has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}.
 
The affected Pokémon can still switch out via {{m|Baton Pass}}, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will now be affected. Conversely, the Pokémon that used Mean Look can switch out with Baton Pass and the effects of Mean Look will still apply.  Also, if the affected Pokémon is {{m|Roar}}ed at or hit with a {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will still be switched out.


The affected Pokémon can still switch out via {{m|Baton Pass}}, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will now be affected. Affected Pokémon can also switch out with {{m|U-turn}}. Conversely, the Pokémon that used Mean Look can switch out with Baton Pass and the effects of Mean Look will still apply.  Also, if the affected Pokémon is {{m|Roar}}ed at or hit with a {{m|Whirlwind}}, they will still be switched out.

It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Curse}} was used in the previous turn.


===Generation V===
===Generation V===
If a Pokémon traps a target with Mean Look and then switches with Baton Pass the target will no longer be trapped. Pokémon affected by Mean Look can switch out with {{m|Volt Switch}}. Also, {{m|Dragon Tail}} and {{m|Circle Throw}} will force the affected Pokémon to switch out.

Pokémon affected by Mean Look can also switch out with {{m|Parting Shot}} and {{m|Flip Turn}}.


===Generation VI===
Mean Look can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Self-Destruct}}) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
Mean Look no longer affects {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Mean Look inflicts the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|stuck}} (previously Leg Hold{{sup/md|RB}}/Shadow Hold{{sup/md|TDS}}) status condition which prevents the target from moving (but may attack), or switch places with the team leader. This status lasts for 2-5{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}}/ 7{{sup/md|GtI}}{{sup/md|SMD}}turns. In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}} Ghost-type Pokémon cannot become stuck. This move is affected by {{m|Magic Coat}}.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Mean Look is {{p|Umbreon}}'s first move. It is obtained by evolving into Umbreon at level 4 and upgrading {{m|Swift}} into it instead of {{m|Foul Play}}. The user pins an opposing Pokémon. For a short time, the opposing Pokémon becomes surrounded by a black zone, which it cannot leave. While the user is in the black zone, its basic attacks become boosted attacks, and it deals increased damage. At level 10, the black zone's duration is increased.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
* The stock image used in the battle animation of Mean Look from Generation VII onwards appears to be based on {{p|Espurr}}'s eyes, which can't itself learn the move. This trait is shared with {{m|Tearful Look}} and {{m|Baby-Doll Eyes}}<sup>{{gen|VII}}+</sup>.
