'''Infatuation''' (Japanese: '''メロメロ''' ''Mad Love'') is a volatile [[status condition]] introduced in [[Generation II]], which causes the affected Pokémon to be unable to use moves 50% of the time.
 
==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|If a Pokémon is infatuated, confused, and paralyzed at the same time, in which order they are all checked in all generations?}}
 
If an infatuated Pokémon attempts to use a [[move]], it will fail 50% of the time, even when targetting Pokémon other than the one it is infatuated with.
 
In [[Generation III]], if the Pokémon is both paralyzed and infatuated, its infatuation check works after the paralysis check.
 
If a Pokémon attempts to use the [[:Category:Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed moves]] {{m|Outrage}}, {{m|Petal Dance}}, {{m|Rollout}}, or {{m|Thrash}}, but fails because of infatuation, the move will be interrupted. This also prevents the user from becoming confused after the move's last turn, except from [[Generation V]] onwards the user still becomes confused if interrupted when would be the last turn nonetheless.
 
==Causes==
Infatuation is caused when {{m|Attract}} is used on a target of the opposite [[gender]], {{m|G-Max Cuddle}} is used by [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Eevee}} on all opponents of the opposite gender, may be caused when a Pokémon makes [[contact]] with a Pokémon of the opposite gender that has {{a|Cute Charm}} as its [[Ability]], and is caused to a Pokémon that infatuates a Pokémon holding a [[Destiny Knot]].
 
A [[gender unknown|gender-unknown]] Pokémon is unable to infatuate or be infatuated by any known means. Infatuation cannot be passed with {{m|Baton Pass}}.
 
===Moves===
A Pokémon can be infatuated when struck by any of the following moves.

==Prevention and curing==
{{incomplete|section|If the player plays the Red Flute, are the opponent's Pokémon snapped out infatuation as well, or just the player's Pokémon?}}
Pokémon with the {{a|Oblivious}} Ability are immune to infatuation. If a Pokémon receives Oblivious in battle (such as from {{m|Skill Swap}}), it is cured of infatuation.
 
Infatuation will end as soon as either the affected Pokémon or the Pokémon it is infatuated with is removed from the battle. A Pokémon's infatuation ends if it uses {{m|Refresh}} or {{m|Rest}}.
 
If a Pokémon is infatuated while [[held item|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 player plays a [[Red Flute]], their Pokémon's infatuation ends.
 
==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
:''See also: [[Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)#Infatuated|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon) → Infatuated]]
 
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], infatuation can be caused by {{m|Attract}}, {{a|Cute Charm}}, as well as by eating or being hit by a [[Seed#Decoy Seed|Decoy Seed]]. Unlike in the core series games, infatuation is ''not'' cured if the Pokémon causing the infatuation faints.
 
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], infatuation lasts 5 to 6 turns. The infatuated Pokémon is unable to do anything. If in the middle of a linked move, the rest of the linked move is skipped.
 
Since [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], infatuation lasts 6 turns. The infatuated Pokémon has a one in two chance of being unable to use a move.
 
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games where genders are not a gameplay mechanic, Attract and Cute Charm are able to infatuate any Pokémon (even those whose gender is [[gender unknown|unknown]] in the core series games).
