The Protein is consumed upon use and cannot be used in battle.

The Protein is consumed upon use and cannot be used in battle.

+A consumable item that raises the {{stat|Attack}} of Pokémon that ingests it by 3 and restores 5 {{stat|Belly}} for it.
 If thrown, it will grant the same effect as if it was consumed by the Pokémon it hits (it cannot be caught); if it is [[sticky]], it will also deal 2 damage. Protein can be blended into a drink at {{DL|Spinda's Café|Spinda's Juice Bar}}, although it has no special effects.
