Milk Drink (Japanese: ミルクのみ Milk Drink) is a non-damaging Normal-type move introduced in Generation II. Prior to Generation VI, it was the signature move of Miltank.

Milk Drink restores up to 50% of the user's current HP.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Milk Drink, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.
