* In the first and second generations, Max Potion and Full Restore were programmed to only heal 999 HP, rather than restoring the HP to maximum. This is because, as below, a Pokémon with more than 999 HP is not legitimately possible, and the highest HP a Pokémon can technically have is 714, with a level 100 {{p|Blissey}} that has an [[individual values|individual HP value]] of 31, and an HP [[effort values|effort value]] of 252 or higher.

This is because, as below, a Pokémon with more than 999 HP is not legitimately possible, and the highest HP a Pokémon can technically have is 714, with a level 100 {{p|Blissey}} that has (in Generation II) an [[individual values|individual HP value]] of 15, and an HP [[effort values|effort value]] of 65535 or higher. In later generations, this corresponds to an [[individual value]] of 31 and an [[effort value]] of 252 of higher.
** Likewise, in early releases of Platinum, the Max Potion was mistakenly programmed to only heal 1000 HP of damage (though a Pokémon with higher than 999 HP is not legitimately possible). This was fixed in later versions, which heal HP to 100%.

* Of the Potions that heal a specific amount of HP (Potion, Super Potion and Hyper Potion), Hyper Potion is the best value, as it is 1HP per {{PDollar}}6, while Potion was the worst with only giving 1HP per {{PDollar}}15, and Super Potion is in the middle with 1HP per {{PDollar}}14.
