In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, vitamins increased a stat by a single point, with a maximum of ten of each vitamin which could be given to a Pokémon. However, in [[Generation III]] and beyond, stats were calculated with the system of [[effort values]], and so instead vitamins give a Pokémon 10 EV points to a stat, only working if the EVs of the stat raised are less than 100, and if the total EVs are less than 510.
In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, vitamins gave 256 Stat Exp to a stat, but could only be given until that stat had 2560 Stat Exp. However, in [[Generation III]] and beyond, stats were calculated with the system of [[effort values]], and so instead vitamins give a Pokémon 10 EV points to a stat, only working if the EVs of the stat raised are less than 100, and if the total EVs are less than 510.


The two {{PP}}-raising vitamins do not work in the same way, since instead of raising a stat they raise the PP value of one of the Pokémon's [[move]]s. Rare Candy is also an exception to this, since it instead raises the Pokémon's [[level]] by one. None of the three can be bought at [[Poké Mart]]s and must be found instead. However, they are still considered vitamins.
