Effect

Generation II

Charm is a Normal-type move. It lowers the Attack stat of the target by two stages.

In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Charm, the move has a 25% chance to fail.

Generations III to V

Charm can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing Flatter, Growl, Rest, Sweet Kiss, and Tail Whip to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

Generation VI onwards

Charm is now a Fairy-type move.

If powered up by a Fairium Z into Z-Charm, the user's Defense stat rises by one stage.

Trivia

• Charm is one of the four moves from Generation II to have its type changed in a later generation, the others being Curse, Moonlight, and Sweet Kiss.
  • Excluding Curse, all of them were Normal-type moves that became Fairy-type moves in Generation VI.
• In Gold and Silver, Bulbasaur and Oddish are programmed to learn Charm as an Egg Move, but there was no legitimate father to pass down this move. In Generations III and IV, both can inherit the move from the Shroomish evolutionary line by chain breeding; from Generation V onward, both can get this move directly from Cottonee.
  • A similar situation occurs for Snorlax in Gold and Silver. In Generation III and IV, Snorlax was able to inherit the move from the Bulbasaur line by chain breeding; from Generation VI onward, Snorlax was able to inherit the move directly from the Tyrunt line.
