Raises a Pokemon Move's Max PP

PP Max raises the PP of a selected move of a Pokemon. It raises to 8/5th of the move's base PP. So for example, a move with 10 PP will be increased to 16 PP after using PP Max. Using one PP Max is the equivalent of using three PP Up.

Additionally, it boosts the friendship of the Pokemon.
