A '''vitamin''' is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They are used to boost the [[stats]], [[Power Point]]s, or [[level]] of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pokémon. Most vitamins are named after real minerals and organic compounds important to bodily health.

The two {{PP}}-raising vitamins raise the maximum PP of one of the Pokémon's [[move]]s in increments of fifths of its base PP, up to ⁸/₅ of its base PP.

From [[Generation II]] onward, all vitamins also increase the [[friendship]] of Pokémon they are used on.

[[PP Up]]s are sold in [[Cerulean City]] and at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]]. PP Ups are commonly given as prizes in the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]]. [[PP Max]]es are not sold anywhere.

All other vitamins are available to buy for {{pdollar}}9800 ({{pdollar}}4900 at a sale) at [[Celadon Department Store]] and the [[Safari Zone Gate]] in Kanto, [[Goldenrod Department Store]] in Johto, [[Lilycove Department Store]] and {{ci|Slateport}} market in Hoenn, [[Veilstone Department Store]] in Sinnoh, [[Shopping Mall Nine]] in Unova, and the [[Laverre City]] Poké Mart in Kalos; they are available to buy for {{pdollar}}10,000 at the [[Mount Hokulani]] Pokémon Center. They may also be purchased at [[Cerulean City]] in exchange for [[Berry Powder]]. Vitamins can also be purchased at both the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III|third}} and fourth generation Battle Frontiers, the Battle Subway, and the PWT for 1 BP each and from the Battle Maison for 2 BP each.

==Trivia==

* The [[PP Max]]'s English name is the same as the Japanese name of the [[Max Elixir]].

* The Japanese names of the vitamins reveal them to be other compounds, specifically {{wp|taurine}}, {{wp|bromhexine}}, {{wp|lysozyme}}, {{wp|chitosan}}, and {{wp|indometacin}}, used for treatment of the body.
