A Vending Machine (Japanese: 自動販売機 Vending Machine) is a machine found in several regions of the Pokémon world which is used to sell drinks.
When purchasing a drink in the Generation III and IV games, there is a 1/64 chance that the player may also receive an extra drink for free. In Generation V, this chance is increased to a 1/32 chance. When this happens, the message "Score! An extra can of <item> dropped down!" or "Bonus! Another can of <item> dropped down." is displayed, depending on generation. In Black 2 and White 2, there is a Medal for having this happen.
