A '''Pokémon Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop''), commonly referred to as the '''Poké Mart''', is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]]. All Poké Marts will sell standard adventure supplies (such as {{stat|HP}} and [[Status condition|status]] restorants and [[Poké Ball]]s), but some stores will also sell special items that are often unique to the store (such as | A '''Pokémon Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop''), commonly referred to as the '''Poké Mart''', is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]].

Much of the merchandise sold at Poké Marts is produced by either [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]]. Poké Marts will also buy many items from customers, usually at half their normal sale price. | ||
Before [[Generation IV]], each Poké Mart's stock was immutable, and stores further along in the {{player}}'s journey would generally offer more advanced items. Since Generation IV, however, all Poké Marts will upgrade their standard stock when the player gains a new [[Badge]] (or completes a [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Generation VII]]), so that all stores always sell the same standard items. Also since Generation IV, any Poké Mart that sells specialty items will sell those items at a second register, so that the first register always sells whatever standard adventure supplies are currently unlocked. | Before [[Generation IV]], each Poké Mart's stock was immutable, and stores further along in the {{player}}'s journey would generally offer more advanced items.
