If an infatuated Pokémon attempts to use a [[move]], it will fail 50% of the time, even when targeting Pokémon other than the one it is infatuated with. This failed move does not spend [[PP]].

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 in any turn 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.

In [[Generation III]], if the Pokémon is both paralyzed and infatuated, its infatuation check works after the paralysis check.
In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III|III]], if the Pokémon is infatuated, confused, and paralyzed at the same time, it checks the statuses in the order of confusion, infatuation, and paralyzed.


===Glitches===
In [[Generation IV]], it checks in the order of confusion, paralyzed, and infatuation.

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.
The [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized]] opponent in a [[Tera Raid Battle]] cannot be infatuated by any means.

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.
 
In [[Generation III]], if a Pokémon with Oblivious is holding a Mental Herb or an Eggant Berry, this Ability will take priority and the item will not be consumed. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, the item will be consumed before Oblivious has a chance to take effect.
 
A Pokémon's infatuation ends if it uses {{m|Refresh}} or {{m|Rest}}. If the player plays a [[Red Flute]], their Pokémon's infatuation ends.
