Does the move "Draining Kiss" bypass the "Infatuation" status ailment?

Feb. 19, 2014



I ask because:

Well, fairly recently, I noticed something…peculiar…while I was battling with my female Sylveon. Sylveon had just become infatuated with another Pokemon in battle after it used “Attract”

Now, at this point I used the move “Draining Kiss”. It hits despite being Infatuated..and then hits again..and again for the KO! Three times in a row through infatuation!

That’s fair enough, and I realize it could just be luck, so I decided to test it by battling online Via BattleSpot. After a while, I managed to get a Jolteon to infatuate my Sylveon. I used Draining Kiss, and guess what? Hit & hit through infatuation AGAIN!

This really makes me ponder…what if..Draining Kiss does indeed have a higher chance to hit during infatuation? If so, do other “Kiss” moves also have a higher chance to hit? Or was I just simply super-lucky?
