The Razor Claw in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet returns from previous titles in the franchise as a rare item that can bolster the abilities of a player's Pokémon, nearly doubling its power during tough battles. The often confusing counterpart of the Razor Claw, this item returns to this title as an exclusive item that has been present throughout past Generations. Thankfully, players can encounter the location of the Scope Lens early on as an available item, although it may take some time to acquire the rare object.

The Delibird Present Shop in Levincia City, one of the first locations outside the Academy that players can visit, has the Scope Lens as a featured item in the store. Even being listed through a sale, the Scope Lens costs an exact 15,000 Pokédollars, a staggering price compared to the usual Potions and Poké Balls players have been used to up to that point.
