From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
A Repel is an item which lets the player walk a certain number of steps without encountering Pokémon with a lower level than the first member in the player's party. It is manufactured by Silph Co., and is sold in most Poké Marts. Its design is similar to that of an aerosol can and is similar to insect repellent. It is available in three strengths. It is the base of the Repel trick.

Trivia
- The Super Repel is more cost-effective than the Max Repel (the Super Repel gives one step per $2.5 while the Max Repel gives one step per $2.8).
- The Cleanse Tag, unlike other Repels, does not fully prevent wild Pokémon from appearing; it just reduces the encounter rate.
