'''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 [[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 the [[Pickup]] ability in your party, although the chances to get one are pretty slim and they are only available in pokémon emerald and onwards.

[[File:Crystal Phanpy Pickup.png|thumb|230px|An Ether in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, the Max Elixir appears as a type of health drink. It is much more abundant than in the main series. It also has a [[Lookalike Item]], the {{DL|Lookalike Item|Mix Elixir}}. The other three types do not appear in this series.
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
In ''[[PS312|Chipping Away at Regirock]]'', after a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Misdreavus}} rendered {{adv|Emerald}}'s {{adv|Crystal|borrowed}} {{p|Shedinja}} unable to use {{m|Shadow Ball}} during his [[Battle Pyramid]] challenge by reducing its [[PP]] to zero with {{m|Grudge}}, Emerald used an Ether {{a|Pickup|picked up}} by his borrowed {{p|Phanpy}} on Shedinja to restore it.

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}}.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese name of the Max Elixir is "PP Max", which is the English name of another item ({{DL|Vitamin|PP Max}}). (The PP Max's name in Japanese is "Point Max".)

Emerald arc

In Chipping Away at Regirock, after a wild Misdreavus rendered Emerald's borrowed Shedinja unable to use Shadow Ball during his Battle Pyramid challenge by reducing its PP to zero with Grudge, Emerald used an Ether picked up by his borrowed Phanpy on Shedinja to restore it.

Ether
Main article: Ether (Plasma Storm 121)

Ether was introduced as an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW 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.
