Milk Drink (Japanese:ミルクのみMilk Drink) is a non-damagingNormal-typemove introduced inGeneration II. Prior toGeneration VI and inGeneration VIII, it was thesignature move ofMiltank. InGeneration IX, it is the signature move ofSkiddo andGogoat.

Effect

In battle

Generations II to IV

Milk Drink restores up to 50% of the user's maximum HP, rounded down.

Generations V to VII

Milk Drink now restores 50% of the user's maximum HP, rounded up.

If powered up by aNormalium Z into Z-Milk Drink, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

Generation VIII

In Versions 1.0 to 1.1.1 ofPokémon Sword and Shield, Milk Drink could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.2.0, it is usable and functions as it did in previous generations.

Generation IX

Milk Drink's PP was reduced to 5.

Outside of battle

Prior toGeneration VII, and inBrilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Milk Drink can be used outside of battle to transfer some of the user's HP to another party Pokémon. Each use will transfer 20% of the user's HP, up to the target's maximum HP. The move will not work if the user has 20% or less HP left.

There is a glitch involving this move inGeneration IV; if the player presses "A" on a Pokémon to be healed and a direction on the D-pad on the same frame, the new Pokémon would be healed instead, possibly leading to a Pokémon having more HP than its maximum HP, or healing fainted Pokémon orEggs. If the "Cancel" button is selected, the game willcrash.
