Is there a limit to how many times an npc uses healing items?

Question

Title says it all. I've been curious about this after watching some videos. Do npcs such as gym leaders and the elite four have a specific number of potions or full restores or whatever? Or do they have a specific number of those healing items?

I'm only curious about gen four to eight since those are the only ones I play but feel free to add the other gens if you want

Answer 1

Item inventory is decided on a per-trainer level, and it can only be found by digging into internal game files, or by reading printouts compiled by someone else who's already done the same (for example, here's a list for Diamond and Pearl). Apart from RBY Brock who gets 5 Full Heals to use when necessary, no opposing trainer in the history of the series has an inventory of more than 4 items.
