Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series
In Red and Blue Rescue Team and Super Mystery Dungeon, all Pokémon are genderless, so Attract can infatuate any opponent. Genders are present as a game mechanic between Explorers of Time and Darkness and Gates to Infinity, so Attract will only work against the opposite gender in those games. Unlike in the main games, infatuation can linger on an opponent even after the user has been defeated.

Between Red and Blue Rescue Team and Gates to Infinity, infatuation always prevents the affected Pokémon from doing anything for several turns, similar to sleep. In Super Mystery Dungeon, it has a chance of preventing attacks every turn, functioning like it does in the main games.
