A '''Potion''' (Japanese: '''キズぐすり''' ''Wound medicine'') is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be used during or outside of a {{pkmn|battle}} to restore a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s {{stat|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 Mart]]s. They are also available in [[Wonder Launcher]] battles. Although the traditional RPG depiction of Potion is as a drink, in Pokémon, Potions appear to be topical, stored in spray bottles and applied to the skin.

* The only Potion that is not depicted as being stored in a spray-type bottle is the [[SecretPotion]], which appears to be in {{wp|kampo}} teapill form.

* In the first and second generations, Max Potion and Full Restore were programmed to only heal 999 HP, rather than restoring the HP to maximum. This is because, as below, a Pokémon with more than 999 HP is not legitimately possible, and the highest HP a Pokémon can technically have is 714, with a level 100 {{p|Blissey}} that has (in Generation II) an [[individual values|individual HP value]] of 15, and an HP [[effort values|effort value]] of 65,535 or higher. In later generations, this corresponds to an [[individual value]] of 31 and an [[effort value]] of 252 of higher.

This is because, as below, a Pokémon with more than 999 HP is not legitimately possible, and the highest HP a Pokémon can technically have is 703 with a level 100 {{p|Chansey}} (in Generation I), or 713 with a level 100 {{p|Blissey}} (in Generation II), both of which having an [[individual values|individual HP value]] of 15, and an HP [[effort values|effort value]] of 65,535 or higher. In later generations, this becomes 714 with an [[individual value]] of 31 and an [[effort value]] of 252 or higher.
** Likewise, in early releases of Platinum, the Max Potion was mistakenly programmed to only heal 1,000 HP of damage (though a Pokémon with higher than 999 HP is not legitimately possible). This was fixed in later versions, which heal HP to 100%.

* Of the Potions that heal a specific amount of HP (Potion, Super Potion and Hyper Potion), Hyper Potion is the best value, as it is 1 HP per {{PDollar}}6, while Potion was the worst with only giving 1 HP per {{PDollar}}15, and Super Potion is in the middle with 1 HP per {{PDollar}}14.

Revision as of 12:15, 25 September 2015

A Potion (Japanese: キズぐすり Wound medicine) is a type of item from the Pokémon games. They can be used during or outside of a 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. They are also available in Wonder Launcher battles. Although the traditional RPG depiction of Potion is as a drink, in Pokémon, Potions appear to be topical, stored in spray bottles and applied to the skin.

In the anime

Cilan using a Super Potion on his Pansage in the anime

Potions have been used on occasion in the anime. Usually, Brock, Cilan, and Clemont carry them in their respective backpacks, and they use them to heal injured Pokémon. Potions seem to sting slightly whenever used, suggesting that they not only heal but sterilize the wound. Tracey has also been seen with some Potions that need to be taken orally.

In Here Comes the Squirtle Squad!, Pikachu obtained a serious injury from a Goldeen while being chased by the Squirtle Squad. He was captured, but suffering, so the Squirtle Squad allowed Ash to go free and get a Super Potion from the local town to heal Pikachu. This was the first episode of the anime wherein a Potion was mentioned.

Brock used a Super Potion to heal a minor injury inflicted on Ash's Pikachu in You Never Can Taillow, which he had received while battling a wild Taillow.

Brock used a Super Potion to heal a minor injury on a wild Nuzleaf in Leave It To Brocko!.

Brock used a Super Potion to treat a minor injury on a wild Bidoof in Faced with Steelix Determination!.

Cilan used a Super Potion to cure his Pansage in A Home for Dwebble! after it had been hit by a rock on the head. The fever resulted from the hit was later cured by a herbal medicine made by Iris.

Iris used a Super Potion to treat a wound on a wild Venipede in A Venipede Stampede!.

Alder used a Super Potion to treat a wild Gigalith's wounds in Ash Versus the Champion!.

Professor Oak used a Super Potion on a Rotom in To Catch a Rotom!. This made Rotom so thankful, that it voluntarily allowed itself to be caught by him.

Clemont used a Potion on Meowth in A Conspiracy to Conquer!, although this happened off-screen, and the Potion bottle was only briefly seen when Clemont put it back into his backpack.

Brock used a Super Potion to heal a wound on a wild Gyarados in SS027, after it had been put asleep by Cilan's Pansage's Grass Whistle.

Nurse Joy used a Super Potion to treat a wound on a wild Lapras in Bonnie for the Defense!.

Clemont was seen using a Super Potion to treat a wound on a wild Bunnelby in a flashback in XY087, which it had received while fighting a wild Diggersby.

In the manga

A Potion in Pocket Monsters DP

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

In Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia I, Byron used a Hyper Potion to heal Gardenia's Cherubi during the Sinnoh Gym Leaders' battle against the Team Galactic Commanders at the Spear Pillar.

In The Final Dimensional Duel VI, Charon mentioned using a Hyper Potion on his Heatran after it had been injured while battling against Reg.

In Listening to Pokémon, Black used some Potions to heal his Pokémon after having a battle with N.

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga

In PMDP02, Red threw a Potion at Clefairy in order to let it recover some health, but Weavile prevented him from doing so by using Embargo.

Trivia

  • The only Potion that is not depicted as being stored in a spray-type bottle is the SecretPotion, which appears to be in kampo teapill form.
  • In the first and second generations, Max Potion and Full Restore were programmed to only heal 999 HP, rather than restoring the HP to maximum. This is because, as below, a Pokémon with more than 999 HP is not legitimately possible, and the highest HP a Pokémon can technically have is 703 with a level 100 Chansey (in Generation I), or 713 with a level 100 Blissey (in Generation II), both of which having an individual HP value of 15, and an HP effort value of 65,535 or higher. In later generations, this becomes 714 with an individual value of 31 and an effort value of 252 or higher.
    • Likewise, in early releases of Platinum, the Max Potion was mistakenly programmed to only heal 1,000 HP of damage (though a Pokémon with higher than 999 HP is not legitimately possible). This was fixed in later versions, which heal HP to 100%.
  • Of the Potions that heal a specific amount of HP (Potion, Super Potion and Hyper Potion), Hyper Potion is the most cost-effective, as it is 1 HP per $6, while Potion was the worst with only giving 1 HP per $15, and Super Potion is in the middle with 1 HP per $14.
