====Transform gender change glitch====
{{main|Transform glitches#Transform gender change glitch|Transform gender change glitch}}
In [[Generation II]], if the opposing Pokémon uses [[Transform glitches#Transform gender change glitch|a glitch to change its own gender]] when it is already infatuated with an opposite-gender Pokémon, the infatuation remains (as a same-gender infatuation).
This is doable if the opponent (a {{pkmn2|wild}} or [[non-player character]]'s Pokémon) uses {{m|Transform}} twice in the same battle, which causes its [[Individual values|DVs]] to be replaced by the player's Pokémon's DVs, and a result its gender changes if the correct DVs for the opposite gender are copied.

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}}.
Infatuation ends as soon as either the affected Pokémon or the Pokémon it is infatuated with is removed from the battle.
 
As long as a Pokémon is already infatuated, it is immune to new infatuation attempts (including any attempts to change the infatuation target from some Pokémon to another).


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. If a Pokémon with Oblivious is infatuated while holding a [[Destiny Knot]], this item will be activated before Oblivious cures this Pokémon of infatuation.

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.
