The '''SecretPotion''' (Japanese: '''ひでんのくすり''' ''Secret Medicine'') is a [[Key Item]] in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games. It is a special kind of medicine, however, its use is restricted, and cannot be used on the player's Pokémon.

The '''Secret Potion''' (Japanese: '''ひでんのくすり''' ''Secret Medicine''), formatted as '''SecretPotion''' prior to [[Generation VI]], is a [[Key Item]] in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
===Price===
The SecretPotion first appeared in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is only obtainable once, from the pharmacy in [[Cianwood City]]. Obtaining the SecretPotion is a compulsory part of the games; it is needed to fight the Olivine Gym Leader, [[Jasmine]]. The first time she is encountered she will be with a [[Amphy|sick Ampharos]] in the [[Glitter Lighthouse]], and will not return to the Gym until her Pokémon is healed. The SecretPotion is the only cure for Amphy's illness.

The SecretPotion is given to Jasmine, who will heal Amphy on her own. It will not be returned to the player, and cannot be used to heal his or her own Pokémon. 
===Effect===
===={{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}====
The Secret Potion is given to [[Jasmine]] in the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] to cure a sick {{p|Ampharos}} named [[Amphy]]. Afterwards, she returns to the [[Olivine Gym]], allowing the player to challenge it.


===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
===={{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}====
The SecretPotion made a second appearance in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Like in Generation II, it is an important part of the games' plot, and will heal a flock of {{p|Psyduck}} who are blocking {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} of their headaches. The SecretPotion is received from [[Cynthia]], [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Sinnoh League|League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, near the blocked entrance to [[Lake Valor]] after the player has earned both the {{badge|Cobble}} and the {{badge|Fen}}, defeated the {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s outside the Galactic Warehouse in [[Veilstone City]], and chased another Grunt from [[Pastoria City]] all the way to Valor Lakefront and defeated him.
The Secret Potion heals a flock of {{p|Psyduck}} who are blocking the way on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} of their headaches.


Unlike in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the player retains the SecretPotion after its use in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. However, there is no use for it and no way to use it after healing the Psyduck.
===Description===
 
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the fourth generation remakes of Generation II, and as such the SecretPotion serves the same purpose as in those games. It is obtained in Cianwood City and heals Amphy. Jasmine will take the medicine from the player to do so, and will not return it. Something odd about the picture next to the description is that after use, there will only be two SecretPotions left.
