'''Ether''' and its upgrade, '''Elixir''' (misspelled as ''Elixer'' in [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}), are a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be used during or outside of a [[Pokémon battle|battle]] to restore a [[move]]'s {{PP}}. They can often be found on the ground, whether readily visible or hidden from sight and requiring an [[Itemfinder]] or the [[Pokétch#Dowsing Machine|Dowsing Machine]] [[Pokétch]] app to locate. Max Ethers may also be found by using {{m|Rock Smash}} in {{v|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Unlike most items, they cannot be bought.
