No Pokémon have Tinted Lens as their only ability.
Tinted Lens doubles the power of any moves that the Pokémon uses that are "not very effective" against its targets.

Tinted Lens (Japanese: いろめがね Tinted Glasses) is an Ability introduced in Generation IV. Nine Pokémon can have this Ability.

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 Bug-type 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.
