In Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise, a Scope Lens was listed as the held item of a rental Ludicolo that Emerald used at the Battle Factory.

In the TCG
Magnifier
Main article: Magnifier (Neo Destiny 101)

The Magnifier, which has the same Japanese name as the Scope Lens, was released as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Neo Series (the Japanese Neo Era) in Neo Destiny. The card has never been reprinted. It attaches to a Pokémon for one turn; if a Pokémon attached with a Magnifier attacks, it ignores Resistance.
