Trivia
Saiko Soda merchandise collection's logo
- The Saiko Soda Pokémon Center Collection, a summer merchandise line released at Japanese Pokémon Center stores in May 2018, uses the Soda Pop in its title and branding.
- At normal purchase prices, the Soda Pop is the most cost-effective HP recovery item, recovering 1 HP per 6 spent. However, the Max Potion (as well as Full Restore and Revives in some cases) can potentially be more cost-effective if used under certain circumstances; the ideal situation for a Max Potion is a Blissey with maximum EVs and IVs in HP with 1 HP remaining, which would recover around 1 HP per 3.5 spent.
- Soda Pop may be based on ramune, a type of drink originating from Japan.
