If your Pokemon is weakened from battle in "Pokemon Go", you can use a potion or the invigorator. In this practical tip, we explain what the difference between these two items is.

What is the difference between potion and animator in "Pokemon Go"?

Although you can use both items if your Pokemon is weakened, there are serious differences. We show you when you should use what:

• The potion helps your Pokemon when it is hurt. You can therefore view the potion as a remedy and use it as a kind of medication. This replenishes 20 KP of your Pokemon
• On the other hand, you use the animator if your Pokemon is unable to fight, i.e. has lost the fight in the arena. In this case, the animator helps your Pokemon regain half of the maximum HP.
