Cute Charm (Ability): Difference between revisions

Cute Charm (Japanese: メロメロボディ Intoxicating Body) is an ability introduced in Generation III. Eleven Pokémon can have this ability.

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 the 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.
