A potion is a type of item from the Pokémon games. They can be used during or out of battle to restore a Pokémon's HP. They can often be found on the ground, whether readily visible or hidden from sight and requiring an Itemfinder to locate, and can be bought at most Poké Marts. Although the traditional RPG depiction of Potion is as a drink, Pokémon Potions appear to be topical, stored in spray bottles and applied to the skin.

A key item in the Generation II and IV games. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal Versions, it is given to the player by the worker in Cianwood City's Pharmacy and used to heal Jasmine's Ampharos, Amphy.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Cynthia will give it to the player to cure the Psyduck that block Route 210 to Celestic Town after the player defeats Crasher Wake.

In the anime

Potions have been used on occasion in the anime. Usually, Brock carries them in his backpack and uses them to heal injured Pokémon. They seem to sting slightly whenever used, suggesting that they not only heal but sterilize the wound.
