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.
