A '''vitamin''' is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They are used to boost the [[stats]], [[Power Point]]s, or [[level]] of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon. Most vitamins are named after real minerals and organic compounds important to bodily health.

From [[Generation III]] onward, they are known as '''nutritious drinks''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|栄養|えいよう}}ドリンク}}''' ''nutritious drinks''), also being referred to as '''Pokémon drinks''' in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. They are described as '''ability enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるアイテム}}''' ''attribute-raising items'') in [[Generation I]] and as '''stat enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるどうぐ}}''' ''attribute-raising tools'') in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In the anime, they are referred to as '''Pokémon vitamin drinks'''.

==Effect==
In all [[core series]] games since [[Generation III]], vitamins that affect [[Statistic|stats]] increase a Pokémon's {{EV}}s for a given stat by 10 EV points, only raising a stat's EVs to a maximum of 100 or the total EVs to a maximum of 510. Prior to Generation III, effort values were based on a system of {{DL|effort values|stat experience}} and vitamins increased a stat by 2560 EV points, but could only be used until the stat had 25600 EVs.

The two {{PP}}-raising vitamins raise the maximum PP of one of the Pokémon's [[move]]s in increments of fifths of its base PP, up to <sup>8</sup>/<sub>5</sub> of its base PP.

[[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] will increase a Pokémon's level by one, using the minimum amount of experience required for the Pokémon to reach the next level.

From [[Generation II]] onward, all vitamins also increase the [[friendship]] of Pokémon they are used on.

In the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}, vitamins permanently increase one of the Stats of a Pokémon and are not subject to any limits due to the absence of the EV system in those games.

==Acquisition==
All vitamins can be found on the ground at various locations.

[[PP Up]]s are sold in [[Cerulean City]] and at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. PP Ups are commonly given as prizes in the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]]. [[PP Max]]es are not sold anywhere.

[[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] can be purchased at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV|Sinnoh and Johto Battle Frontiers}}, the [[Battle Subway]], the [[Pokémon World Tournament|PWT]], and the [[Battle Maison]] for 48 [[Battle Point|BP]] each. They can also be purchased at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]] on Mondays and Saturdays.

All other vitamins are available to buy for {{pdollar}}9800 ({{pdollar}}4900 at a sale) at [[Celadon Department Store]] and the [[Safari Zone Gate]] in Kanto, [[Goldenrod Department Store]] in Johto, [[Lilycove Department Store]] and {{ci|Slateport}} market in Hoenn, [[Veilstone Department Store]] in Sinnoh, [[Shopping Mall Nine]] in Unova, and the [[Laverre City]] Poké Mart in Kalos; they are available to buy for {{pdollar}}10,000 at the [[Mount Hokulani]] Pokémon Center. They may also be purchased at [[Cerulean City]] in exchange for [[Berry Powder]]. Vitamins can also be purchased at both the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|third}} and fourth generation Battle Frontiers, the Battle Subway, and the PWT for 1 BP each and from the Battle Maison for 2 BP each.

==In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series==
{{main|Health drink}}
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], [[Protein]], [[Calcium]], [[Iron]], and [[Zinc]] appear as types of health drink. [[Carbos]] appears in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]. Their effects are based on those of their [[core series]] counterparts.

==In the anime==
[[File:Vitamin anime.png|thumb|250px|Vitamins in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[Calcium]] debuted in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Nurse Joy gave a whole bottle of these tablets to a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Magikarp}}. Some other unidentified vitamins also appeared in the episode.

The [[Rare Candy]] debuted in ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]''. However, unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, where the Rare Candy levels up a Pokémon, in the episode it actually makes the Pokémon larger (and in some cases uncontrollable) due to the fact that this was a specially modified and experimental version of it. {{an|Brock}} said that the original would merely "enhance a Pokémon's abilities". Also, due to a dubbing error, the Rare Candy was referred by a direct translation of its Japanese name, Mystery Candy.

In ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', a full set of vitamins ([[PP Up]], [[PP Max]], and Rare Candy are excluded) were announced to be the prize for winning the [[Clubsplosion]], like how the set of [[wing]]s was the prize for the [[Club Battle]]. They were eventually won by [[Stephan]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Vitamin Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Vitamins in Pokémon Adventures]]
In ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', {{adv|Red}} tried to use an "[[HP Up]]" sold to him by {{adv|Green}} on [[Pika]], but, like with all the other items she had sold him, it proved to be fake and ineffective.

In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', several kinds of vitamins were seen being sold at the [[Safari Zone Gate]].

In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} revealed that he had given his {{TP|Blake|Dewott}} a [[Rare Candy]] and [[Resist Wing]] before heading to battle {{p|Genesect}}, boosting his defenses just enough for him to be able to survive an {{type|Electric}} {{m|Techno Blast}}.

==Trivia==
* The [[item duplication glitch]] is sometimes called the [[Rare Candy]] glitch due to the desirability of Rare Candies.
** In {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2 and White 2}}, due to {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s being programmed to reset every time the player leaves and re-enters the area, the Breeders found at [[Big Stadium and Small Court]] can be used to collect unlimited amounts of Rare Candies, as they give the player one as a reward every time they are defeated.
* The [[PP Max]]'s English name is the same as the Japanese name of the [[Max Elixir]].
* The Japanese names of the vitamins reveal them to be other compounds, specifically {{wp|taurine}}, {{wp|bromhexine}}, {{wp|lysozyme}}, {{wp|chitosan}}, and {{wp|indometacin}}, used for treatment of the body.
