Repel is an item which lets you walk a certain number of steps without encountering Pokémon lower than those in your party. It is manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], and is sold in most Poké Marts. The aerosol can that Repel comes in makes it very similar to insect repellant. It comes in three strengths.

==Types of Repel==
The '''Repel''' (Japanese: '''むしよけスプレー''' ''Repellent Spray'') is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation I]].


'''Repel'''
The [[Super Repel]] and [[Max Repel]] are stronger versions of this item.


The most standard and common type of Repel. It keeps lower level Pokémon away for 100 steps and can be bought from Poké Marts for {{PDollar}}350.
==In the core series games==

'''Super Repel'''
===Effect===
When used from the [[Bag]] in the overworld, it prevents certain [[wild Pokémon]] from appearing for 100 steps:


An improved Repel that does the same job as regular Repel for 200 steps. Super Repel costs {{PDollar}}500. It is found at most Pokémarts.
* In [[Generation I]], and from [[Generation VI]] onwards, this applies to wild Pokémon with a lower [[level]] than the first member of the [[party]].
* From [[Generation II]] to {{gen|V}}, this applies to wild Pokémon with a lower level than the first non-[[fainting|fainted]] member of the party.


'''Max Repel'''
In {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}, this item does not prevent wild Pokémon from appearing in the [[White Forest]].


Max Repel is the best Repel (works for 250 steps) and most expensive at {{PDollar}}700. It is rare, but is available later in the game.
Starting in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, if the player still has more of this item when the effect wears off, the game will automatically ask the player whether they want to use another one immediately.


'''Cleanse Tag'''
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, it prevents [[hidden encounter]]s; it does not prevent [[symbol encounter]]s or [[wanderer]]s.


Keeps wild Pokémon away if the first Pokémon in a party holds it. It is found in the top floor of the [[Lost Tower]] at the bottom of [[Solaceon Town]] ({{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}). Not purchasable.
