Vending machine

This article is about the objects in the Pokémon games. For Pokémon Trading Card Game collection, see Vending Machine cards.

A Vending Machine (Japanese: 自動販売機 Vending Machine) is a machine found in several regions of the Pokémon world which is used to sell drinks.

When purchasing a drink in the Generation III and IV games, there is a 1/64 chance that the player may also receive an extra drink for free. In Generation V, this chance is increased to a 1/32 chance. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, there is also a chance of an extra drink, with an even slimmer chance of two extra drinks. When this happens, the message "Score! An extra can of <item> dropped down!", "Bonus! Another can of <item> dropped down.", "Score! You got a bonus drink! An extra bottle of <item> dropped down." is displayed, depending on generation. In Black 2 and White 2, there is a Medal for having this happen.
