'''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 is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as an {{TCG|Item card}}. The following is a list of cards named Ether.

'''Ether''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) in the {{TCG|Plasma Storm}} expansion. It has never been reprinted. This {{TCG|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 {{TCG|Energy card}}.
