Mean Look (Japanese: くろいまなざし Dark Look) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II.
Effect
Generation II
Mean Look prevents the target from switching out or fleeing (including via Teleport). It bypasses accuracy checks to always hit, unless the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Fly. The effect only applies as long as the Pokémon that used it remains in battle.
It will hit the target even if it has used Protect or Detect.
The affected Pokémon can still switch out via Baton Pass, but in that case, the Pokémon that switches in will now be affected. Conversely, the Pokémon that used Mean Look can switch out with Baton Pass and the effects of Mean Look will still apply. Also, if the affected Pokémon is Roared at or hit with a Whirlwind, they will still be switched out.
If a wild Pokémon uses Mean Look on the player's Pokémon, the player will be unable to escape.
Generations III and IV
Pokémon affected by Mean Look can escape if the Pokémon has the Ability Run Away or is holding a Smoke Ball.
It is now blocked by Protect and Detect.
Pokémon affected by Mean Look can now switch out with U-turn.
Mean Look can also be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, giving extra two appeal points if Curse was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing Destiny Bond and Perish Song to have their base appeal points doubled if used in the next turn.
Generation V
If a Pokémon traps a target with Mean Look and then switches with Baton Pass the target will no longer be trapped.
Pokémon affected by Mean Look can also switch out with Volt Switch.
Also, Dragon Tail and Circle Throw will force the affected Pokémon to switch out.
Generation VI onward
Mean Look no longer affects Ghost-type Pokémon. It will now hit the target even if it has used Protect, Detect, or Spiky Shield, but will fail if the target is protected by Crafty Shield.
Pokémon affected by Mean Look can also switch out with Parting Shot.
Mean Look can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing certain moves (Explosion, Memento, Perish Song and Self-Destruct) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Mean Look, the user's Special Defense stat is raised by one stage.

Trivia
- In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it ignores accuracy and evasion checks.
- The eye figures used in the battle animation for Mean Look are non-descript in all games until Generation VII, when they are modeled after the eyes of Espurr.
