Sweet Scent can no longer be used outside of battle. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Sweet Scent is unaffected by the weather. In Pokémon X and Y, Sweet Scent can only be used under clear weather. Otherwise, a normal wild encounter will be triggered. Sweet Scent will initiate a Horde Encounter if Horde Encounters can take place in the location it is used. This is known as the Poké Mart text glitch. 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. Sweet Scent can only be used under clear weather. Sweet Scent will cause a wild encounter even if Repel is in effect. 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. If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Sweet Scent, the user's accuracy is raised one stage. Sweet Scent now lowers the targets' evasion by two stages. 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. Sweet Scent lowers the evasion of all adjacent opponents by one stage.
