"Vitamin" accuracy
You call Zinc, Calcium, Iron VITAMINS? They are elements, metals, not any "vitamins". Well, Pokémon Fans don't have to be perfect in chemistry but calling them vitamins means COMPLETELY NO KNOWLEDGE! --Maxim 17:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sheesh, calm down Maxim. Carnivine
- "Vitamin: Any of a group of organic substances essential in small quantities to normal metabolism, found in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs or sometimes produced synthetically: deficiencies of vitamins produce specific disorders. Examples include Retinol (Vitamin A) • B vitamins: Thiamine (B1) • Riboflavin (B2)• Niacin (B3)• Pantothenic acid (B5)• Pyridoxine (B6)• Biotin (B7)• Folic acid (B9) • Cyanocobalamin (B12) • Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) • Ergocalciferol and Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D) • Tocopherol (Vitamin E) • Naphthoquinone (Vitamin K) • Calcium • Choline • Chlorine • Chromium • Cobalt • Copper • Fluorine • Iodine • Iron • Magnesium • Manganese • Molybdenum • Phosphorus • Potassium • Selenium • Sodium • Sulfur • Zinc •"
- Don't flame people, especially when they know what they're talking about. Many vital minerals required for the human body ARE considered vitamins. --Zeta 17:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and for the record, if you're reading this - I really don't like the tone you've been taking with people lately - both in the forums and on the pedia. Going around yelling at people in a constant rage is not acceptable behavior. --Zeta 17:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nooooo, minerals are microelements and macroelements, not vitamins. --Maxim 17:57, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- Paperfairy is right. So is Zeta. Maxim, you are really too angry at other people. So please stop yelling at everyone who doesn't think the exact same way you do. Carnivine
- Carnivine, you're annoying, too. Because you're still questioning me. That's not your problem Carnivine. I know I'm not perfect and you DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME THIS! The thing YOU do is equal to minimodding on forums! And it's considered as WRONG! --Maxim 18:17, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- All I'm asking is for you to just relax and stop yelling at everyone, including me. Carnivine
- This discussion is over. Regardless of what they are in the real world, they are Vitamins in Pokémon. Any efforts to change the page otherwise by anyone will be dealt with harshly. --Argy 03:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Rare candy = revive?
Is it worth noting that when a fainted pokemon is given a rare candy, it gains actual HP by the amount max HP goes up, meaning a rare candy can serve as an emergency revive in a desperate situation? --Kendai 10:52, September 9, 2007
Well, this is the type of thing that can easily change between generations since it's not intentional, but i think i tried HP up in gen 3 to see if it worked, and it didn't i'll probably need to check again though. --Kendai 8:17 September 12 2007
- nope, HP up doesn't work for some reason. i also tried evolution stones, no actual HP gain, just raised max HP. though this is spread among enerations, i recently tried the HP up in pearl, and a while back i was trying stones in emerald. --Kendai 18:19 September 15, 2007
I think i got off track though, i was mainly asking if the fact is noteworthy. Does anyone think it's worth adding? --Kendai 00:00 September 19, 2007
Hp up = what?
What happens when you are using Hp Up? I have tryed it several times and haven't seen any change. Jacce 13:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- It won't work if your Pokémon's stats are exceeding a certain amount, if they have really high HP already, etc. Hard to explain. er1hp streak 01:35, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Rare Candy, based on Rock Candy?
Whilst playing Earthbound the other day I was wondering whether it would be worth mentioning that the item Rare Candy might be based on the item Rock Candy from that game.
The Rock Candy was used quite similarly to increase hp/pp stats after when leveling up.
I thought there might be a connection, after all Creatures Inc. who makes the Pokemon games was previously Ape Inc, responsible for Earthbound.Chary 20:08, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- Rock Candy is actually a real sweet, you get it a lot down where I live, but it's more commonly called just "Rock" down here. ~~Takoto - サソデイ 22:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Rare candy with box trick
Can the stat flaws caused by rare candies be remedied with the box trick? - unsigned comment from Sebb (talk • contribs)
You would probably be better off asking this question in the forums.--Boywonder01 17:32, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Evolving Pokémon with Rare candy
Currently trying to determine, can a rare candy be used to evolve a Pokémon if the Rare Candy puts it on its proper evolution level? Wojjan 16:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Meaning if you give a level 35 Charmeleon a Rare Candy, would it evolve? Yes. Unless you cancelled the evolution. ~$aturn¥oshi THE VOICES 17:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Stat Lowering?
My friend had used 4 PP Max on his EV Trained Espeon's moves. Afterwards, for some reason, it's speed stat was less... ...Do PP Up's/Max's lower the stats of Pokemon? ~m190049~talk 03:59, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
- No. "Your Freind" was lying. SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch 16:45, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Locations?
can someone please update this page with locations some of these can be found/purchased or IF they can be purchased. Specifically I would like to know IF PP Ups can be purchased anywhere and/or maybe a few examples of where they can be found... -- D558 05:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Happiness
Would Rare candy put up happiness by 4 rather than 2 (2 for the level up/ 2 for the vitamin) --TiTAn 10:58, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
On the case of Japan's version of the "Vitamins" and real-life relations
Should it be worth mentioning that the vitamins in the Japanese games' case (Taurine etc) are possibly chosen as they are commonly found in small bottled energy/health drinks in Japan (which themselves are very common and can be bought in supermarkets, department stores, convenience stores, etc)?

EV-enhancing
I'm just curious if Macho Brace and Pokérus are multipliers on the added 10 EV's if so this might be helpful information for those looking for a faster way to EV train. -Giantmongoos May 2010
- If I remember correctly, held items such as the Macho Brace only takes effect in battles. As a result, EVs earned from vitamins are unaffected by such. HechEff 07:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
Drinks
In HGSS, the man selling them at the Safari Zone Gate calls them "Drinks" or "Pokémon Drinks". This is consistent with points raised elsewhere on this talk page. However, the page for "Drink" is currently used by a page detailing items such as MooMoo Milk and Fresh Water. Should this page be merged into that page? Or should it be made into a new page, such as Drinks (medicinal), Medicinal Drinks, or something else? I think something needs to be done: as it stands, the page title is a misnomer, and I say that having referred to these as vitamins for the longest time. --AndyPKMN 20:59, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
