==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.
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, but can't increase the total EVs beyond a maximum of 510. Between Generations III and {{gen|VII}}, vitamins will also have no effect on an individual stat that already has 100 or more EVs. 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 ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', the [[Rare Candy]] made its anime debut. However, unlike in the 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.

Pokémon drink redirects here. For the items that represent real-world drinks, see Drink.
Vitamins in the anime

A vitamin is a type of item from the Pokémon games. They are used to boost the stats, Power Points, or level of a 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: 栄養ドリンク nutritious drinks), also being referred to as Pokémon drinks in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. They are described as ability enhancers (Japanese: のうりょくをあげるアイテム attribute-raising items) in Generation I and as stat enhancers (Japanese: のうりょくをあげるどうぐ attribute-raising tools) in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. In the anime, they are referred to as Pokémon vitamin drinks.

Effect

In all core series games since Generation III, vitamins that affect stats increase a Pokémon's EVs for a given stat by 10 EV points, but can't increase the total EVs beyond a maximum of 510. Between Generations III and VII, vitamins will also have no effect on an individual stat that already has 100 or more EVs. Prior to Generation III, effort values were based on a system of 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 moves in increments of fifths of its base PP, up to 8/5 of its base PP.

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

In the 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 Ups are sold in Cerulean City and at the Pokéathlon Dome. PP Ups are commonly given as prizes in the Pokémon Lottery Corner. PP Maxes are not sold anywhere.

All other vitamins are available to buy for $9800 ($4900 at a sale) at Celadon Department Store and the Safari Zone Gate in Kanto, Goldenrod Department Store in Johto, Lilycove Department Store and 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 $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 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.

Vitamins in the anime

Calcium debuted in The Joy of Pokémon. Nurse Joy gave a whole bottle of these tablets to a giant Magikarp. Some other unidentified vitamins also appeared in the episode.

In The Clubsplosion Begins!, a full set of vitamins (excluding PP Up and PP Max) were announced to be the prize for winning the Clubsplosion, like how the set of wings was the prize for the Club Battle. They were eventually won by Stephan.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Vitamins in Pokémon Adventures

In Wartortle Wars, Red tried to use an "HP Up" sold to him by Green on Pika, but, like with all the other items she had sold him, it proved to be fake and ineffective.

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