About Revival

Revival items restore fainted Pokemon to consciousness with varying amounts of HP. Revives are among the most valuable items in Pokemon, especially during challenging battles against Elite Four, Champions, and legendary encounters.

Revive Types

Revive restores a fainted Pokemon to 50% HP. Max Revive fully restores HP. Revival Herb revives to full HP but reduces friendship. Sacred Ash (Lugia event item) revives the entire team to full HP.

In-Game Impact

Revives are banned in competitive multiplayer but game-changing in story content and Battle Tower. Stocking Max Revives before Elite Four ensures you can recover from bad matchups. They are rare finds and expensive to buy, making them premium resources.
