>>45341938Hyper Potion > Full Restore > Super Potion > Max Potion
>Super PotionOnly good for usually about 1 badge in the early-game, vending machine drinks and Moomoo Milk tend to be available around the same time and more cost effective and useful.
>Hyper PotionBy far the best option pre-Gen 7 and even post-nerf is still the best, extremely cost effective. Most in-game mons will never top 200 HP until post-game and even 120 HP is enough to restore most in-game mons to full for pretty much the entire game. Available relatively early usually too
>Max PotionUsually overkill, two Hyper Potions are less expensive from Gens 2-6 anyway so completely pointless until about Gen 7 and even then the worst overall option
>Full RestoreThe best late-game option if you're a kid who unironically uses items in battles, otherwise overkill and overpriced and only really useful if you're too lazy to use a Full Heal and a Hyper Potion anyway. Nice if you find one lying around tho
