Cute Charm (Japanese: メロメロボディ Intoxicating Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation III. Twelve Pokémon can have this Ability, with all but one being Normal-type.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with Cute Charm is hit by a move that makes contact, there is a 30% chance that the opponent of the opposite gender will become infatuated, making it unable to attack 50% of the time.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is first in the party, the chance of encountering a Pokémon of the opposite gender is 66.7%, regardless of gender ratios. This does not affect the swarming Pokémon species or Pokémon found in Hidden Grottos.
