Infatuation (Japanese: メロメロ Mad Love) is a volatile status condition introduced in Generation II, which causes the affected Pokémon to be unable to use moves half the time.
Effect
|
This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: If a Pokémon is infatuated, confused, and paralyzed at the same time, in which order they are all checked in all generations? You can discuss this on the talk page. |
|---|
If an infatuated Pokémon attempts to use a move, it will fail 50% of the time, even when targeting Pokémon other than the one it is infatuated with. This failed move does not spend PP.
If a Pokémon attempts to use the consecutively executed moves Outrage, Petal Dance, Rollout, or Thrash, but fails in any turn because of infatuation, the move will be interrupted. This also prevents the user from becoming confused after the move's last turn, except from Generation V onwards the user still becomes confused if interrupted when would be the last turn nonetheless.
In Generation III, if the Pokémon is both paralyzed and infatuated, its infatuation check works after the paralysis check.
Glitches
Transform gender change glitch
- Main article: Transform gender change glitch
In Generation II, if the opposing Pokémon uses a glitch to change its own gender when it is already infatuated with an opposite-gender Pokémon, the infatuation remains (as a same-gender infatuation).
This is doable if the opponent (a wild or non-player character's Pokémon) uses Transform twice in the same battle, which causes its DVs to be replaced by the player's Pokémon's DVs, and a result its gender changes if the correct DVs for the opposite gender are copied.
Causes
Infatuation is caused when Attract is used on a target of the opposite gender, G-Max Cuddle is used by Gigantamax Eevee on all opponents of the opposite gender, may be caused when a Pokémon makes contact with a Pokémon of the opposite gender that has Cute Charm as its Ability, and is caused to a Pokémon that infatuates a Pokémon holding a Destiny Knot.
A gender-unknown Pokémon is unable to infatuate or be infatuated by any known means. Infatuation cannot be passed with Baton Pass.
Moves
A Pokémon can be infatuated when struck by any of the following moves.

Prevention and cure

Infatuation ends as soon as either the affected Pokémon or the Pokémon it is infatuated with is removed from the battle.
As long as a Pokémon is already infatuated, it is immune to new infatuation attempts (including any attempts to change the infatuation target from a Pokémon to another).
Pokémon with the Oblivious Ability are immune to infatuation. If a Pokémon receives Oblivious in battle (such as from Skill Swap), it is cured of infatuation. If a Pokémon with Oblivious is infatuated while holding a Destiny Knot, this item will be activated before Oblivious cures this Pokémon of infatuation.
A Pokémon's infatuation ends if it uses Refresh or Rest. If a Pokémon is infatuated while holding a Mental Herb or an Eggant Berry, the item will be consumed and the infatuation will end. Even if the Pokémon has Oblivious, the item will still be consumed. If the player plays a Red Flute, their Pokémon's infatuation ends.
In spin-off games
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, infatuation can be caused by Attract, Cute Charm, as well as by eating or being hit by a Decoy Seed. Unlike in the core series games, infatuation is not cured if the Pokémon causing the infatuation faints.
In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, and Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, infatuation lasts 5 to 6 turns. The infatuated Pokémon is unable to do anything. If in the middle of a linked move, the rest of the linked move is skipped.
Since Gates to Infinity, infatuation lasts 6 turns. The infatuated Pokémon has a one in two chance of being unable to use a move.
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games where genders are not a gameplay mechanic, Attract and Cute Charm are able to infatuate any Pokémon (even those whose gender is unknown in the core series games).
