'''Ether''' and its upgrade, '''Elixir''' (misspelled as ''Elixer'' in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}), are a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be used during or outside of a {{pkmn|battle}} to restore a [[move]]'s {{PP}}. Unlike most items, a player can't buy them in any shop; instead, they can often be found on the ground, whether readily visible or hidden from sight and requiring an [[Dowsing Machine|Itemfinder]] or the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} [[Pokétch]] app to locate. Max Ethers may also be found by using {{m|Rock Smash}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Additional way to find them is by fighting with a Pokémon with {{a|Pickup}} in the player's [[party]], although the chances to get one are low and only available in {{game|Emerald}} and onwards.

Ether

Ether was introduced as an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era) in the Plasma Storm expansion. It has never been reprinted. This Trainer card allows the player to look at the top card of their deck, then attach it to one of their Pokémon if it is a basic Energy card.
