Rescue Team:Ginseng

Ginseng (カテキン Catechin) is a health drink that boosts the Pokémon's set move permanently by 1 or, very rarely, 3. It also slightly fills the Pokémon's belly by 5. When sticky, it can no longer be ingested by the player, or held or swapped between a player or ally's individual inventory.

Ginseng can be purchased for 5000 Poké and sold for 1000 Poké, making it the most expensive Health Drink.

Set Moves

Set moves are created when the player goes to the moves section, selects a move and registers the "Select" option. By holding L then pressing A (for certain emulators press the 'A' key then the 'Z' key), the move will automatically activate.

Set Moves can be boosted via the usage of a Ginseng (mentioned above). However, keep in mind that both linked moves and moves that don't damage an opponent (such as status moves) do not activate the boost from a Ginseng. It is unknown how much a Pokémon's set move can be boosted.

When moves are boosted, the base power of the boosted move will raise itself, evidenced by the two images below.
