A '''Repel''' (Japanese: '''スプレー''' ''Spray'') is an item which lets the {{player}} walk a certain number of steps without encountering [[wild 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 Mart]]s. Its design is that of an {{wp|aerosol can|aerosol spray}} and is similar to {{wp|insect repellent}}. It is available in three strengths.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a dialog pops up after a Repel runs out, asking if the player wants to use another one.
===Effect===
When used from the [[Bag]] in the overworld, it prevents certain [[wild Pokémon]] from appearing for 100 steps:


Repels can be used to only encounter certain wild Pokémon using a method known as the {{appendix|Repel trick}}.
* 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.

==Trivia==
A Repel made a brief appearance as one of the items in {{adv|Red}}'s Bag in ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]''.
* The Super Repel is more cost-effective than the Max Repel (the Super Repel gives one step per {{PDollar}}2.5  while the Max Repel gives one step per {{PDollar}}2.8). However, when buying Max Repels in bulk from a Join Avenue market, they can be cheaper than the same amount of Super Repels at a Poké Mart.
