Herbal medicine
From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Herbal medicine is a type of item from the Pokémon games. They can be used during or out of battle to restore a Pokémon's HP, remove status conditions, or revive a Pokémon, all with a side effect of lowering a Pokémon's happiness due to their bitter taste. They can be found on the ground, whether readily visible or hidden from sight and requiring an Itemfinder to locate; however, herbal medicine is usually bought from special herb shops. It should be noted that other than the Revival Herb, the items are cheaper than their more-common form (such as Super Potion). Even the Revival Herb has a stand though, as Max Revives cannot be bought.

Trivia
- The effect of lowering a Pokémon's happiness due to its bitter taste applies even to those with a Calm, Gentle, Sassy, or Careful nature, which are supposed to prefer bitter taste. Taste preferences have relation only to Contests.
- A man in Lavaridge Town states that Charcoal is used for making herbal medicine. In game, however, it serves no medicinal purposes.
