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]] of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon. Most vitamins are named after real minerals and organic compounds important to bodily health.

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, vitamins gave 2560 Stat Exp to a stat, but could only be given until that stat had 25600 Stat Exp. However, in [[Generation III]] and beyond, stats were calculated with the system of [[effort values]], and so instead vitamins give a Pokémon 10 EV points to a stat, only working if the EVs of the stat raised are less than 100, and if the total EVs are less than 510.

The two {{PP}}-raising vitamins do not work in the same way, since instead of raising a stat they raise the PP value of one of the Pokémon's [[move]]s. Rare Candy is also an exception to this, since it instead raises the Pokémon's [[level]] by one.

Rare Candies will add experience to a Pokémon until it levels up, and then stop, even if it just added a single experience point. <!-- I know this may not be the best place for this data, but I just did the research in Ruby (the only place I have any left) and I feel it should be mentioned somewhere, that any experience on the current level is made moot. -->

From [[Generation II]] onward, vitamins also increase the [[friendship]] of the affected Pokémon.

In the {{pkmn|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.
