The '''SecretPotion''' (Japanese: '''ひでんのくすり''' ''Secret Medicine'') is a medicine in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]]. In [[Generation II]], the person in charge of [[Cianwood City]]'s pharmacy gives it to the player to take back to [[Olivine City]] in order to cure [[Jasmine]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}, [[Amphy]]. In [[Generation IV]], [[Cynthia]], who was somehow able to obtain it (according to its in-game description, it is indeed the same medicine from Cianwood), gives it to the player to cure the group of {{p|Psyduck}} blocking [[Route 210]] in [[Sinnoh]]. | The '''SecretPotion''' (Japanese: '''ひでんのくすり''' ''Secret Medicine'') is a medicine in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]].

The English name of this item is a mistranslation. In the original Japanese versions, it is known as '''ひでんのくすり''' ''Secret Medicine''. The flaw was finally noticeable in Generation IV due to its in-bag sprite being that of a small bag of pill-like objects, rather than a potion. The name, however, was kept, perhaps as a reference to the original Gold and Silver storyline, or as some would hope, in anticipation of a [[Appendix:Pokémon Gold and Silver remakes|remake of Gold and Silver]] much like [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|what happened to the original Red and Green]]. | The English name of this item is a mistranslation.

It is oddly remniscent of [[Ho-oh]]'s [[Sacred Ash]] in that they can both heal any, or in Sacred Ash's case all, Pokemon of an illness. | ||
