Effect

This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: How does it interact with Instruct and Dancer? Does item use or switching count as having moved? You can discuss this on the talk page.

Boosts the holder's accuracy by 20% (a factor of 4915/4096 in Generation V onward) against targets that have already used a move in the same turn.

In Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I, a Zoom Lens was a prize Diamond won in the Veilstone Game Corner using the Coins Platinum won from the slot machines. Platinum tried the Zoom Lens on Chimler for training.

Trivia

• In Diamond and Pearl, the description incorrectly states that the Zoom Lens boosts the critical hit ratio rather than accuracy.
