Sweet Kiss (Japanese: てんしのキッス Angel's Kiss) is a non-damaging Fairy-type move introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was a Normal-type move.

It appears to be a confusion counterpart to Lovely Kiss, as the type, PP, accuracy, battle animations (in Generation II and III), and Japanese names are very similar.

Effect

Generation II

Sweet Kiss causes the target to become confused.

Generations III to V

Sweet Kiss cannot affect targets with Own Tempo as their Ability.

Generation VI

Sweet Kiss is now a Fairy-type move.

Trivia

• Its in-game animations correlate with its Japanese name in which an angel floats down and kisses the opponent. A similar situation occurs with Lovely Kiss, though only in Generation II and Generation III.
• Sweet Kiss is one of the four moves from Generation II to have its type changed in a later Generation, along with Charm, Curse, and Moonlight.
  • Excluding Curse, all of them were Normal-type moves that became Fairy-type moves in Generation VI.
