Cute Charm (Ability): Difference between revisions
(→Outside of battle: It's RNG manipulation and I'm not really sure if it's fair to call it a glitch. Perhaps "oversight"? http://www.smogon.com/ingame/rng/dpphgss_rng_part5) |
(→Outside of battle: expanding on what was written before - RNG manip isn't necessary for this to work. I could go into detail about why the PIDs form each shiny group, but it makes it too technical I think) |

On certain save files in [[Generation IV]], due to how the out of battle effect is programmed, having a Pokémon with Cute Charm in the first slot of the party greatly increases the chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon for species that can vary in gender. This is due to the fact that when Cute Charm activates to force an encounter of the opposite gender it sets the [[personality value]] (PID) to a value within 5 sets of 25 predetermined values (with each set having a value for each nature). The set is determined by the gender of the Cute Charm lead in the front of the party and, if the Pokémon with Cute Charm is female, the [[gender ratio]] of the target. All PIDs within the set will force the species encountered to be the opposite gender to the Cute Charm lead. Within each set there are four "shiny groups" of PIDs, three with 8 PIDs and one with 1 PID. Each PID within a given shiny group will make an encountered Pokémon shiny when paired with the correct [[Trainer ID]]/[[Secret ID]] (TID/SID) combinations. Therefore the chances are of encountering a shiny Pokémon under these conditions are 21.34% for TID/SID combinations that work with the shiny groups that have 8 PIDs, and 2.67% for for the shiny groups that have 1 PID. Generating save files with compatible TID/SID combinations is commonly done with [[RNG manipulation]], although this isn't necessary. | |||

Cute Charm (Japanese: メロメロボディ Mad Love Body) is an Ability introduced in Generation III.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a move that makes contact, there is a 30% chance that the attacking Pokémon will become infatuated if it is of the opposite gender to the Pokémon with this Ability. This Ability will not activate if the Pokémon with this Ability is genderless.
If a Pokémon with this Ability is hit by a multi-strike move that makes contact (such as Fury Swipes), each hit has an independent chance to activate this Ability.
Outside of battle
From Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is in the first place in the party (even if fainted), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender from the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a swarming Pokémon species or Pokémon found in Hidden Grottos.
On certain save files in Generation IV, due to how the out of battle effect is programmed, having a Pokémon with Cute Charm in the first slot of the party greatly increases the chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon for species that can vary in gender. This is due to the fact that when Cute Charm activates to force an encounter of the opposite gender it sets the personality value (PID) to a value within 5 sets of 25 predetermined values (with each set having a value for each nature). The set is determined by the gender of the Cute Charm lead in the front of the party and, if the Pokémon with Cute Charm is female, the gender ratio of the target. All PIDs within the set will force the species encountered to be the opposite gender to the Cute Charm lead. Within each set there are four "shiny groups" of PIDs, three with 8 PIDs and one with 1 PID. Each PID within a given shiny group will make an encountered Pokémon shiny when paired with the correct Trainer ID/Secret ID (TID/SID) combinations. Therefore the chances are of encountering a shiny Pokémon under these conditions are 21.34% for TID/SID combinations that work with the shiny groups that have 8 PIDs, and 2.67% for for the shiny groups that have 1 PID. Generating save files with compatible TID/SID combinations is commonly done with RNG manipulation, although this isn't necessary.
