Price
Effect
Generation II
If held by any member in the player's party, it halves the encounter rate of wild Pokémon.
Generation III to IV
If held by the first member in the player's party, it decreases the encounter rate of wild Pokémon by one third. It also works if the holder has fainted.
Generation V onward
Cleanse Tag's encounter rate reduction does not apply if it is held by a Pokémon with Illuminate, Arena Trap, No Guard, Stench, White Smoke, or Quick Feet, or if the Pokémon has Sand Veil or Snow Cloak and the appropriate weather condition is in effect. However, Cleanse Tag is still cumulative with the overworld effects of Intimidate and Keen Eye.
