Flatter is a Dark-type move with 15 PP and 100% accuracy. When used in battle, it confuses the opponent and raises their Attack power by two levels.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Contests, Flatter is a Smart-type move worth 2 points. When used, the Pokémon that goes after the one using Flatter cannot have the judge's attention lowered.

Tips
