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 '''Potion''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the {{TCG|Base Set}} expansion with artwork by [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. It was later released as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion with new artwork by [[Ayaka Yoshida]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Beginning Set}}. This card has since been released numerous times throughout the course of the TCG.
 
In the Base Set, {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, and {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}} prints, this Trainer card allowed the player to remove two damage counters from one of their Pokémon. From the Black & White print onwards, the card allows the player to heal 30 damage from one of their Pokémon.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* 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 [[Generation VII]], of the Potions that heal a specific amount of {{stat|HP}} (Potion, [[Super Potion]], and [[Hyper Potion]]), Potion is the most cost-effective at the normal price, as it is 1 HP per {{PDollar}}10, while Hyper Potion is the least cost-effective with 1 HP per {{PDollar}}12.5, and Super Potion is in the middle with 1 HP per {{PDollar}}11.67.
* 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 {{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.
** Prior to Generation VII, of the Potions that heal a specific amount of HP (Potion, Super Potion, and Hyper Potion), Potion is the least cost-effective at the normal price, only giving 1 HP per {{PDollar}}15, while Hyper Potion is the most cost-effective with 1 HP per {{PDollar}}6, and Super Potion is in the middle with 1 HP per {{PDollar}}14.
** 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.

Potion
Main article: Potion (Base Set 94)

The Potion was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the Base Set expansion with artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi. It was later released as an Item card in the Black & White expansion with new artwork by Ayaka Yoshida, first released in the Japanese Beginning Set. This card has since been released numerous times throughout the course of the TCG.

In the Base Set, Expedition Base Set, and EX Unseen Forces prints, this Trainer card allowed the player to remove two damage counters from one of their Pokémon. From the Black & White print onwards, the card allows the player to heal 30 damage from one of their Pokémon.
