Summary
Potion is a basic healing item in the Pokémon series, prominently featured since the very first games, Pokémon Red and Blue. Its primary function is to restore 20 hit points (HP) to a single Pokémon, making it an essential tool for early game battles and exploration. This immediate recovery can often mean the difference between winning and losing during critical moments, especially when players are far from a Pokémon Center.
In the Pokémon games, Potions can be purchased at Poké Marts, found as items on the ground, or received as gifts from various in-game characters. While its simplistic effect makes it quickly outclassed by stronger healing items like Super Potions and Hyper Potions as the game progresses and Pokémon's HP pools increase, the Potion remains an iconic and accessible resource for new trainers.
Potions have also appeared in various Pokémon spin-off games and media, maintaining their role as a fundamental healing item. In the Pokémon anime, Potions are shown being used by trainers and nurses to treat
