In the anime
Main series
Antidote was first mentioned in A Venipede Stampede!, where Cilan used some to cure Ash after he had been poisoned by a wild Venipede's Poison Point.
Antidote was mentioned again in An Undersea Place to Call Home!. Lindsey used one off-screen to cure Ash's Pikachu after he had been badly poisoned by a wild Skrelp's Toxic.
Antidotes first appeared in The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!. Professor Kukui handed one to Ash from his medical kit, for him to cure his Rowlet from the poison inflicted by James's Mareanie's Sludge Bomb.
In The One That Didn't Get Away!, Lana used some Antidote-laced food wrapped around her fishing lure to heal a Kyogre from its poisoning.
