>>28183672PP Up and PP Max are both completely innovative ways to increase a Pokemon's duration on the battlefield. PP Up is usually either Darbepoietin or Epoetin alfa (both are erythropoietin stimulators) depending upon the manufacturer that increases a pokemons life force relative to ability to produce action.
In laymens terms, pokemon don't get tired of using a move because they get more oxygen in their body.
PP Max is high-dose erythropoietin stimulator combined with enteric-coated aspirin to maximize the pokemons fighting abilities while minimizing the risk of stroke that accompanies administering something that increases red blood cell production.
HP Up is usually a synthesized growth hormone that is specific for certain pokemon families.

It's an incredibly volatile material, and with what short research we've been able to perform on the seemingly miniscule amounts that exist, it seems to be a combination of a sympathomimetic catecholamine and oddly enough a vinca alkaloid but we haven't been able to study it in enough detail to hone in on why it works the way it does.
