Lock-On (Japanese: ロックオン Lock-On) 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 Lock-On wears off.

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

Lock-On's accuracy is 100%.

Generation IV onward

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

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