Does Cute Charm have them same effect in gen 4 and onward in Pokemon Fire Red?
Aug. 26, 2015I’m trying to get a female Growlithe for breeding purposes, and I’ve been running into them with my male Wigglytuff, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’ve found mostly males. I know that the cute charm thing works in Emerald and beyond, but does it work in Fire Red?

It seems that the ability cute charm works outside of battle in every game from Emerald and onwards.
Outside of battleFrom Pokémon Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with Cute Charm is first in the party, even if it has fainted, the chance of encountering a Pokémon of the opposite gender is 66.7%, regardless of gender ratios. This does not affect a swarming Pokémon species or Pokémon found in Hidden Grottos.

everything that I can find says it works from emerald onwards. emerald came out after LeafGreen/FireRed so it does not appear that it works for the encounter rate in FireRed.
