Where to Buy Wide Lens

Delibird Presents Location (Levincia)

You can buy the Wide Lens for 20000 at Delibird Presents in Levincia. You'll find Delibird Presents' Levincia branch on the north side of the city.

Take a flying taxi to Levincia (North), and go south from the Pokemon Center.
Delibird Presents is on the left side of the wide building in the middle of Levincia (North).

Wide Lens can't be bought from the Mesagoza or Cascarrafa branches. You can only get it from Levincia.

Is the Wide Lens Good?

Wide Lens vs Zoom Lens

The Wide Lens raises a Pokemon's accuracy by 10%. As a Held Item, it needs to be given to your Pokemon to work. Generally, you only want to use the Wide Lens if your Pokemon has moves with low accuracy. You can check the accuracy of a move by going into the Pokemon's summary and tabbing over to Moves.

Another item that's similar to the Wide Lens is the Zoom Lens. You can buy the Zoom Lens from Delibird Presents (Levincia) for 10000, but only after you've earned four gym badges. The Zoom Lens is another Held Item that will raise the accuracy of your Pokemon's moves by 20%. However, the Zoom Lens accuracy boost only applies if your Pokemon moves after the opponent.

Between the two, the Wide Lens is preferred if you're using a Pokemon that has high Speed. The 10% accuracy will apply to your Pokemon's moves regardless if its turn is first or last. Likewise, slower Pokemon may benefit more from the Zoom Lens.

Which Pokemon Should Equip Wide Lens?

Abilities & Moves with Low Accuracy

The Wide Lens should be equipped by a Pokemon that has an Ability that lowers their accuracy, or if they have a move with low accuracy. For example, Maushold's signature move, Population Bomb, benefits from having high accuracy to ensure Maushold dishes out as much damage as possible. Wide Lens will increase the accuracy of Population Bomb, which has a base accuracy of 90%. Alternatively, you can have Maushold equip a Loaded Dice instead, which means Population Bomb will hit at least four times.

You can give Wide Lens to a Pokemon with the Hustle Ability. In battle, a Pokemon with Hustle will have their Attack stat raised by 50%, but their accuracy will be lowered by 20%. The following Scarlet/Violet Pokemon can have Hustle:

Hisuian Lilligant
Deino
Zweilous
Delibird
Flapple (Hidden)
Rufflet (Hidden)
Squawkabilly

If you're using a Pokemon without an accuracy-lowering Ability, then you may consider teaching it moves with less than 100% accuracy. The Wide Lens will increase the accuracy of the move. Here are some examples of moves that may benefit from a Wide Lens:

Move Name	Type	Power	Accuracy	PP
Fire Blast	Fire	110	85%	5
Hydro Pump	Water	110	80%	5
Thunder	Electric	110	70%	10
Sleep Powder	Grass	-	75%	15
Stun Spore	Grass	-	75%	30
Hurricane	Flying	110	70%	10
Blizzard	Ice	110	70	5
Zap Cannon	Electric	120	50%	5
