Sweet Kiss (Japanese: てんしのキッス Angel's Kiss) is a non-damaging Fairy-type move introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was a Normal-type move.

It appears to be the confusion counterpart to Lovely Kiss.

Effect

Generation II to V

Sweet Kiss causes the target to become confused. Sweet Kiss cannot affect targets with Own Tempo as their Ability.

Sweet Kiss is a Normal-type move.

Sweet Kiss can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Charm was used in the previous turn.

Generation VI onwards

Sweet Kiss is now a Fairy-type move.

If powered up by a Fairium Z into Z-Sweet Kiss, the user's Special Attack stat rises by one stage.

Trivia

• Prior to Generation VII, its in-game animations correlate with its Japanese name in which an angel floats down and kisses the opponent. A similar situation occurs with Lovely Kiss, though only in Generation II and Generation III.
• Sweet Kiss is one of the four moves from Generation II to have its type changed in a later generation, the others being Charm, Curse, and Moonlight.
  • Excluding Curse, all of them were Normal-type moves that became Fairy-type moves in Generation VI.
