Super Potion
Main article: Super Potion (Base Set 90)

Super Potion was introduced as a Trainer card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the Base Set expansion with artwork by Keiji Kinebuchi. It was later released as an Item card in the XY expansion with new artwork by 5ban Graphics, first released in the Japanese Collection Y.

In the XY series print, this Trainer card allows the player to heal 60 damage from one of their Pokémon. The player must then discard an Energy attached to that Pokémon.
