Repel

Repel is an item which lets you walk a certain number of steps without encountering Pokémon with a lower level than the first member 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.
