Mind Reader (Japanese: こころのめ Mind's Eye) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.
Effect
Generations II and III
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 Mind Reader wears off. This can be Baton Passed.
This does not allow the user to bypass protection moves.
Generation IV
Mind Reader's accuracy is changed from 100 to being exempt from an accuracy check.
