Learn about the Cute Charm ability in Pokémon Platinum, which attracts opposite gender Pokémon 30% when attacked.

Pokémon with Cute Charm: Clefairy, Clefable, Jigglypuff, Wigglytuff, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Skitty, Delcatty, and Lopunny.

Effect: When a Pokémon with the Cute Charm ability is attacked, there is a 30% chance that the opposing Pokémon will be attracted to it, meaning it will be of the opposite gender.

Out of Battle Effect: When a Pokémon with the Cute Charm ability is the lead Pokémon in your party (the first one in your lineup), wild Pokémon of the opposite gender will appear 66% more often. This effect is not influenced by swarming Pokémon, Pokémon using the Sweet Scent (a move that attracts wild Pokémon), or other similar effects.

Tips
  • Use a Pokémon with Cute Charm as your lead to significantly increase the chances of encountering opposite gender Pokémon, which is useful for breeding.
  • The 66% increase in opposite gender encounters applies to wild Pokémon and is not affected by other in-game mechanics that alter wild Pokémon spawns.
