Sweet Scent (Japanese: あまいかおり Sweet Scent) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. It was TM12 in Generation II.

Effect

In battle

Generation II

Sweet Scent lowers the evasion of all adjacent opponents by one stage.

In the Generation II core series games, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Sweet Scent, the move has a 25% chance to fail.

Generations III to V

Sweet Scent can be used as the first move of a Pokémon Contest combination, causing PoisonPowder, Sleep Powder, and Stun Spore to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

Generation VI onwards

Sweet Scent now lowers the targets' evasion by two stages.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Sweet Scent, the user's accuracy is raised one stage.

Outside of battle

Generations II and III

Sweet Scent causes wild Pokémon to appear when used as a field move, provided the player is standing in an area where wild Pokémon would normally appear. Sweet Scent will cause a wild encounter even if Repel is in effect.

Generations IV and V

Sweet Scent can only be used under clear weather.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl only, using Sweet Scent (or Honey) inside a shop or Poké Mart will cause the descriptive text of purchasable items to vanish until the player opens the "SELL" menu or leaves the shop. This is known as the Poké Mart text glitch.

Generation VI

Sweet Scent will initiate a Horde Encounter if Horde Encounters can take place in the location it is used. Otherwise, a normal wild encounter will be triggered.

In Pokémon X and Y, Sweet Scent can only be used under clear weather. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Sweet Scent is unaffected by the weather.

Generation VII

Sweet Scent can no longer be used outside of battle.

Generation VIII

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Sweet Scent cannot be used outside of battle, but it can be in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

Generation IX

Sweet Scent can no longer be used outside of battle.
