A '''Repel''' (Japanese: '''スプレー''' ''Spray'') is an item which lets the {{player}} walk a certain number of steps without encountering [[wild Pokémon]] with a lower [[level]] than the first member in the {{player}}'s [[party]]. It is manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], and is sold in most [[Poké Mart]]s. Its design is that of an {{wp|aerosol can|aerosol spray}} and is similar to {{wp|insect repellent}}. It is available in three strengths.

The '''Repel''' (Japanese: '''むしよけスプレー''' ''Repellent Spray'') is a type of [[item]] introduced in [[Generation I]].


In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a dialog pops up after a Repel runs out, asking if the player wants to use another one.
The [[Super Repel]] and [[Max Repel]] are stronger versions of this item.


If traded into {{g|Colosseum}} or {{XD}}, although [[wild Pokémon]] do not appear except in [[Poké Spot]]s, Repels still have the "use" option. If the player attempts to use one, the message "This item cannot be used in the Orre R<!--capital or lowercase r?-->egion" will be displayed instead.

Repels can be used to only encounter certain wild Pokémon using a method known as the {{appendix|Repel trick}}.

When used from the [[Bag]] in the overworld, it prevents certain [[wild Pokémon]] from appearing for 100 steps:

This {{TCG|Trainer card}} forces the player's opponent to switch one of their Active Pokémon with one of their Benched Pokémon.
* The Super Repel is more cost-effective than the Max Repel (the Super Repel gives one step per {{PDollar}}2.5  while the Max Repel gives one step per {{PDollar}}2.8). However, when buying Max Repels in bulk from a Join Avenue market, they can be cheaper than the same amount of Super Repels at a Poké Mart.
