From {{game|Emerald}} onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is in the first place in the [[party]] (even if [[fainting|fainted]]), there is a 66.7% chance that the game will force an encountered Pokémon to be the opposite gender from the Pokémon with Cute Charm if it can be that gender. This does not affect a [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming]] Pokémon species or Pokémon found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s. This can be exploited in [[Generation IV]] to vastly increase the chance of [[Shiny Pokemon]] appearing through an exploit.
