Trivia

• Prior to Generation VII, 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, the others being Charm, Curse, and Moonlight.
  • Excluding Curse, all of them were Normal-type moves that became Fairy-type moves in Generation VI.
