Vitamins

In: Items

All Vitamins
Vitamin	Effect
HP Up	+10 HP EVs, until it has 100 or more EVs
Protein	+10 Attack EVs, until it has 100 or more EVs
Iron	+10 Defense EVs, until it has 100 or more EVs
Calcium	+10 Special Attack EVs, until it has 100 or more EVs
Zinc	+10 Special Defense EVs, until it has 100 or more EVs
Carbos	+10 Speed EVs, until it has 100 or more EVs
PP Up	+ 20% of the base PP of the selected move, until 3 PP Ups or one PP Max have been used
PP Max	+ 160% of the base PP of the selected move, but can only be used once per move

Note: PP Up and PP Max are also classified as Vitamins, but they can’t be bought in any shop. As the name suggests, each of these items increases a move’s base PP.

There are three different places where you can buy Vitamins in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. You can buy them using Battle Points (BP) in the Battle Maison’s BP Shop, or you can buy them using Pokédollars either in the Lilycove Department Store, or at Slateport City’s outdoor market.

Vitamins, also known as nutritious drinks, are used to boost the stats of a Pokémon. Each Vitamin will raise any particular stat by 10 EVs but won’t affect any stat that already has 100 or more EVs.

Tip: Using a Vitamin on your Pokémon will also increase its Friendship Value. This can be expensive, but a quick way to max out friendship.

Location #1: Slateport City Market Energy Guru

In Slateport City’s outdoor market, an NPC called the Energy Guru will sell Vitamins for 9,800 Pokédollars each.

Tip: On Mondays there is always a sale going on, making all the Vitamins they sell 50% cheaper.

The Energy Guru is located southwest of Slateport City’s Pokémon Center. You can follow the path marked on the map above.

Here’s a list of what the Energy Guru sells:

Vitamin	Price (Sunday-Tuesday)	Price (Monday Sale)
HP Up	9,800	4,900
Protein	9,800	4,900
Iron	9,800	4,900
Calcium	9,800	4,900
Zinc	9,800	4,900
Carbos	9,800	4,900

Location #2: Battle Maison BP Shop

This method requires you to have access to the Battle Maison, located at the Battle Resort. It’s the island accessible after the player obtains the S.S. Ticket, which is obtained after completing the Delta Episode.

Winning battles here grant BP or Battle Points, which you can exchange for various items at the Exchange Service Corner, located in the entrance hall.

Two attendants sell different types of rare items for BP. The right attendant sells held items used in battle, while the left attendant sells Vitamins, EV training items and evolution items. Here’s a complete list of items offered as prizes by the attendant on the left:

Location #3: Lilycove Department Store

The Lilycove Department Store is a multi-level PokéMart located on the north side of Lilycove City, a coastal city east of Route 121. On the third floor, the clerk on the left will sell Vitamins for 9,800 Pokédollars each.

Unlike the Energy Guru in Slateport City, the Vitamins they sell here won’t ever be on sale.

Tip: You can always change your system’s date to Monday to save some money whenever you decide to buy some Vitamins.

The clerk that sells Vitamins is on 3F (third floor) on the left-hand side of the counter.
