How Lock-On changed from game to game, newest first.

1. Gen V

   … the middle of a two-turn move. dropped: When this effect is started against the target, this and Mind Reader's effects end for every other Pokémon against that target. If the target leaves the field using Baton Pass, the replacement remains under this effect. If the user leaves the field using Baton Pass, this effect is restarted against the same target for the replacement. The effect ends if either the user or the target leaves the field. added: Fails if this effect is active for the user.

2. Gen III

   Before: The next accuracy check against the target succeeds. The target will still avoid Earthquake, Fissure, and Magnitude if it is using Fly. If the target leaves the field using Baton Pass, the replacement remains under this effect. This effect ends when the target leaves the field or an accuracy check is done against it.

   Now: Until the end of the next turn, the target cannot avoid the user's moves, even if the target is in the middle of a two-turn move. When this effect is started against the target, this and Mind Reader's effects end for every other Pokémon against that target. If the target leaves the field using Baton Pass, the replacement remains under this effect. If the user leaves the field using Baton Pass, this effect is restarted against the same target for the replacement. The effect ends if either the user or the target leaves the field.
