Attract (Japanese: メロメロ Mad Love) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM45 from Generation II to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, and TM31 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

Effect

The target becomes infatuated with the user if they have opposite genders. Attract works regardless of type immunity. Unlike most status moves, Attract is able to bypass a substitute.

Attract has no effect if the user and target have the same gender, or if either of them is a gender-unknown Pokémon (such as Magnemite). It also fails when used on a Pokémon that is already infatuated.

Pokémon with the Ability Oblivious or under the protection of Aroma Veil are immune to the effects of Attract. If a Pokémon is infatuated by Attract while holding a Mental Herb or an Eggant Berry, the item will be consumed and the infatuation will end. Even if the Pokémon has Oblivious, the item will still be consumed.

If the target Pokémon becomes infatuated while holding a Destiny Knot, the user will also become infatuated with the target.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Attract, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Unlike in Max Raid Battle, Attract does not affect opponents in Tera Raid Battle regardless of their gender since Terastallized raid bosses are immune to infatuation.

Trivia

• Despite always failing when used, several gender unknown Pokémon can learn this move, such as the Staryu line (in Generation II), Mew, Cryogonal, Minior, and Dhelmise.
  • Pokémon like Nincada, Ferroseed line, Larvesta line and Oranguru can't learn Attract despite having genders. Nincada could be restricted from learning Attract to not allow gender unknown Shedinja to know this move.
• Although Attract only works between opposite-gendered Pokémon, in real life, numerous animal species have been known to demonstrate homosexual behavior.
