Ketchup is an item in the Pokémon series that, while prominent in the Pokémon anime, does not have any known effects or functional role in the mainline Pokémon games. The item gained particular notoriety due to Pikachu's notable affection for it, most famously depicted in the episode "Showdown at Dark City" of the Pokémon anime. In this episode, Ash's Pikachu is shown to have an intense love for ketchup, often seen carrying a bottle and even becoming distraught when the bottle is damaged. This amusing quirk of Pikachu’s character became a memorable and beloved aspect for fans of the show.
However, Ketchup does not carry over into the game mechanics or item usage within the Pokémon games themselves. Unlike game items like Leftovers, which provide gameplay benefits such as health regeneration, Ketchup remains purely a piece of popular culture trivia associated with the Pokémon franchise rather than a functional in-game item.
