A vitamin is a type of item. They are used to boost the stats, Power Points, or level of a trainer's Pokémon. Most vitamins are named after real minerals and organic compounds important to bodily health.
They are also known as nutritious drinks or stat enhancers.
Vitamins that affect stats increase a Pokémon's EVs for a given stat by 10 EV points, only raising a stat's EVs to a maximum of 100 or the total EVs to a maximum of 510.
The two PP-raising vitamins raise the maximum PP of one of the Pokémon's moves in increments of fifths of its base PP, up to 8/5 of its base PP.
Rare Candies will increase a Pokémon's level by one, using the minimum amount of experience required for the Pokémon to reach the next level.
All vitamins also increase the friendship of Pokémon they are used on.
