The Move Charm, Possible Bug

[Centauris91]

Hi there, this isn't spoilerish, since it's literally the fourth fight in game, when fighting Doxy Lindsey. Her first Pokemon is a female Cleffa who went up against my male Torchic. She used Charm, my Attack stat dropped two stages, but MY TORCHIC ALSO FELL IN LOVE. In fact, at one point, it's even immobilized by love. Is this effect intended? What triggered it?

 

It was raining at the time, too. If I have to guess, Cleffa might have Cute Charm. I did attack it using Scratch, a contact move. Maybe I sped up the game and didn't read that the ability was triggered. But, it might also be worth checking out. Thanks.
