===Final Fantasy IX===
Auto-Potion is a support ability all characters can learn that costs three Magic Stones to equip. The character will use a Potion or a Hi-Potion upon taking damage from an enemy. The ability can be used in conjunction with the Chemist ability to double the items' potency, though this is glitchy in the PC and Xbox version. Auto-Potion is learned by Zidane (30 AP), Freya (30 AP), Eiko (30 AP), Amarant (30 AP), Dagger (20 AP), Steiner (20 AP), and Vivi (10 AP).
It can be learned from the Mythril Vest, Demon’s Vest, Running Shoes, Gold Choker, Black Hood, Golden Skullcap, Survival Vest, Magician Robe, White Robe, and Extension.
===Final Fantasy X===
Auto-Potion can be added to any customizable armor by spending four Stamina Tablet items. When in use, the character will use a Potion to heal themselves after taking damage when in HP Critical status. These items are affected by the Alchemy ability, or when using Rikku's Overdrive to mix a Trio of 9999 to increase the item's potency.
When the auto-ability is activated, the least powerful Potion available will be used, meaning a player's stock of Potion items will be used first. If there are no Potion items in the player's inventory, then Hi-Potions are used, and if there are no Hi-Potions, X-Potions are used. If a person with Auto-Potion in their armor is KO'd, the item will still be removed from the inventory as if it were used. Mega-Potions, Al Bhed Potions, and Elixirs are not used.
Auto-Potion also appears as enemy ability for Guado Guardian. It can be disabled by successfully stealing from them.
