When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a move that makes [[contact]], there is a 30% chance that the attacking Pokémon will become {{status|Infatuation|infatuated}} if it is of the opposite [[gender]] to the Pokémon with this Ability.

If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a [[multi-strike move]] that makes contact (such as {{m|Fury Swipes}}), each hit has an independent chance to activate this Ability.

From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is first in the party, the chance of encountering a Pokémon of the opposite gender is 66.7%, regardless of gender ratios. This does not affect the [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s.
From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender from the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s.  This can be exploited in [[Generation IV]] to vastly increase the chance of [[Shiny Pokemon]] appearing through an exploit.

Cute Charm (Japanese: メロメロボディ Mad Love Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.

Effect

In battle

When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a move that makes contact, there is a 30% chance that the attacking Pokémon will become infatuated if it is of the opposite gender to the Pokémon with this Ability. This Ability will not activate if the Pokémon with this Ability is genderless.

If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a multi-strike move that makes contact (such as Fury Swipes), each hit has an independent chance to activate this Ability.

Outside of battle

From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is in the first place in the party (even if fainted), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender from the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a swarming Pokémon species or Pokémon found in Hidden Grottos. This can be exploited in Generation IV to vastly increase the chance of Shiny Pokemon appearing through an exploit.
