Would be used how? if the value is either 1 or 0, then attract either works or doesn't, which makes it shittier than it is right now because not only does your target have to be the opposite gender, you also have to keep in mind your attract user's charisma value, which would mean you'd only use attract in mons that have a charisma value of 1, which means attract would by all intents and purposes work exactly like it currently does, which means having a charisma value is pointless.

If charisma works like other hidden values in the series, from 0 to 255, what exactly does that do for attract? if my mon uses it with a charisma between 0-30, what changes in comparison to a charisma between 140-255? You say it determines the effectiveness, but that can't be accuracy because it already has 100 acc, so do you mean the effects of the move itself? higher chance to be unable to move if the charisma is higher? Does the charisma value affect any other move or ability, like charm, cute charm, baby-doll eyes, sweet kiss, etc., or is attract the only thing?

Attract is probably pheromone based so bugs would actually be the most powerful users of Attract
this is heavily supported by the existence of Pheromosa

Weight is an objective, measurable value, beauty is not, no matter how much you try to argue against this. For example, you claim bugs would be considered ugly, why? Just because you think so? Volcarona, Masquerain, Vivillon, etc. they're all gorgeous/pretty Pokemon. And it goes on, some think Toxtricity is handsome, some think it's absolutely hideous, some think Glaceon is adorable, others that it's a bland, blue cat. See where I'm going? You can't measure or give stats to that.

because it doesn't need to, things are automatically attracted to it in-universe because of its pheromones

Obviously it's a scaling value, like from 0-5 or 0-10

It is an objective value. Butterflies would have higher values, which would give them a bonus compared to other bug Pokemon.

Attractive to humans? What this has to do with anything?

It would affect all of them, and possibly moves like Draining Kiss and Lovely Kiss as well.

The effects would vary based on moves, but generally stat boosting moves would have their effectiveness boosted and kiss effects would have their power boosted

Some people think butterflies are scary and creepy, so again, it all falls on the subjective realm and the point is flying over your head.
