How to Use Auto Heal and Items Used - Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV)

Items Used for Auto Heal

The Auto Heal feature automatically takes healing items from your bag in a specific sequence, so make sure you have enough of these items in stock to make the most use of this feature! Potions are used first, while Hyper Potions are used last.

Healing Item Amount of HP Restored

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fresh Water ImageFresh Water 30
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Soda Pop ImageSoda Pop 50

List of All Recovery Items

Don't Use Auto Heal if You Want to Save Your Potions

While the Auto Heal feature is useful, it may accidentally use up a Super or Hyper Potion you've been saving up for a battle in the future. That's why we do not recommend using Auto Heal if you don't have a good amount of Potions, Fresh Water, and Soda Pops in your bag.

Check your inventory often so you can see whether or not Auto Heal has used up most of your cheaper healing items. You can then turn it off so your more valuable healing items don't get consumed as well.
