Tinted Lens (Japanese: いろめがね Tinted Glasses) is an ability introduced in Generation IV. Four Pokémon have this ability, all of which are Template:Type2.
Effect
In battle
Tinted Lens doubles the power of any moves that the Pokémon uses that are "not very effective" against its targets. If a move is regularly not very effective, and thus normally does half damage, it would therefore do normal damage, while a doubly-resisted move (such as a Template:Type2 move against the Steel/Flying Skarmory) will do half damage rather than one quarter damage.
Outside of battle
Tinted Lens has no effect outside of battle.

Origin
This is probably a reference to the idiom "Viewing the world through rose-tinted glasses", an expression which means to see good where there is none. (Such as dealing 2x as much damage when at a disadvantage.)
