Effect

When used from the Bag in the overworld, it prevents certain wild Pokémon from appearing for 200 steps:

• In Generation I, and from Generation VI onwards, this applies to wild Pokémon with a lower level than the first member of the party.
• From Generation II to V, this applies to wild Pokémon with a lower level than the first non-fainted member of the party.

In Pokémon White, this item does not prevent wild Pokémon from appearing in the White Forest.

Starting in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, if the player still has more of this item when the effect wears off, the game will automatically ask the player whether they want to use another one immediately.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, it prevents hidden encounters; it does not prevent symbol encounters or wanderers.
