- Pokémon drink redirects here. For the items that represent real-world drinks, see Drink.
- Iron redirects here. For Steven's Beldum with the nickname Iron, see Steven Stone → Iron.
- PP Max redirects here. For the item with the same Japanese name, see Ether → Max Elixir.
A vitamin (Japanese: えいようドリンク nutritious drink) 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.
Effect
In all core series games since Generation III, vitamins that affect stats increase a Pokémon's effort values (EVs) 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 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.
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 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 Max is not sold anywhere.
Rare Candies can be purchased at the Sinnoh and Johto Battle Frontiers, the Battle Subway, the PWT, and the Battle Maison for 48 BP each. They can also be purchased at the Pokéathlon Dome on Mondays and Saturdays.
All other vitamins are available to buy for $9800 ($4900 at a sale) at Celadon Department Store, Goldenrod Department Store, Lilycove Department Store, Veilstone Department Store, Slateport market, the Safari Zone Gate, Shopping Mall Nine, and the Laverre City Poké Mart. 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.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
- Main article: Health drink
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Protein, Calcium, Iron and Zinc appear as types of health drink. Their effects are based on their effects in the main series.
In the anime
Calcium made its anime debut 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 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. 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 The Clubsplosion Begins!, a full set of vitamins (PP Up, PP Max, and Rare Candy are excluded) were announced to be the prize for the Clubsplosion tournament, like how the set of wings was the prize for the Club Battle tournament. They were eventually won by Stephan.

Trivia
- The item duplication glitch is sometimes called the Rare Candy glitch due to the desirability of Rare Candies.
- In Black 2 and White 2, due to Pokémon Breeders 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.
- Despite the name "Vitamin" referring to them, the Calcium, Iron and Zinc are based on minerals important for the human body, while the Protein and Carbos are based on two of the main constituents found on the nutrition labels of food products.
- The Japanese names of the vitamins reveal them to be other compounds, specifically taurine, bromhexine, lysozyme, chitosan, and indometacin, used for treatment of the body.
