Fluffy Tail

The Fluffy Tail is an item available in Generation III and Generation IV. It was introduced in Generation III as a replacement or a substitute for the Poké Doll. It can only be purchased in the Hoenn region. It is shaped somewhat like the tail of a Skitty.

The Fluffy Tail works exactly the same as the Poké Doll; When used in battle with a wild Pokémon, the battle will end immediately, by the wild Pokémon being distracted by the tail. It will have no effect in a trainer battle.

Presumably, the item was created due to the fact that the Poké Doll is in the shape of a Clefairy, which is not in Hoenn's regional Pokédex. Perhaps on purpose, in regions where the Poké Doll is available, Skitty is not in the regional Pokédex, and therefore, the Fluffy Tail is not available for purchase. Because of this, the only way to get the Fluffy Tail in Sinnoh is to transfer it over via Pal Park.
