It appears to be a sleep counterpart to Sweet Kiss, as the type, PP, accuracy, battle animations and Japanese names are the same or very similar.

Trivia

• Its Japanese name correlates with its animation in the Generation II games in which a demon floats down from the top of the screen and kisses the opponent. A similar situation occurs with Sweet Kiss.
  • Although it doesn't stay this way in later generations like Sweet Kiss does.
