Potions in the anime

Regular 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 regular Potions that need to be taken orally.

Clemont used a regular 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.

Several regular Potions were seen in Professor Kukui's medical kit in The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!.

Professor Kukui used a regular Potion in Rocking Clawmark Hill! to heal the Rockruff he was taking care of.

In Lulled to La-La Land!, Lillie mentioned Potions as some of the items she had brought with her to the camp she and her classmates were having. In the dub, they were mistakenly referred to as "lotions".

Wicke was seen using a Potion on an injured Whimsicott in a flashback in Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!.
