Max Revives are highly valuable items that fully restore a fainted Pokémon’s HP. Unfortunately, Max Revives aren’t sold in Poké Marts like regular Revives.
And while they can be obtained in a number of ways, there isn’t any really good method for farming a lot of them easily.
This page covers all of the locations where you can find Max Revives in OR/AS.
