let's see your thoughts on this...

how does a PokéCenter heal large Pokémon that cannot even fit inside a building? yet PokéCenters still seem to manage to do so, Reshiram, Black Kyurem, Dialga, Lugia, Whalelord etc... we've taken large Pokémon to PokéCenters before and I am sure it has happened in the TV show as well...


how does the PokéCenter get the job done with large Pokémon?

Well in the games they don't even get out of their Poké Ball when they're being healed.
I think they heal the pokemon while they're inside the pokeball
In the anime and probably some manga, they go out from their pokéballs to be treated manually by Chansey/Audino and Nurse Joy though.

I'd guess that they have larger rooms for larger pokémon. A pokémon center is a building constructed solely for hosting pokémon in need of treatment, so I should suppose that they want to be ready to hold anything from a Joltik to a Tropius or Dragonair, somehow. Worst case scenario (I'm thinking Wailord or Mamoswine) they might have to treat a pokémon outdoors or travel to the sea to reach them, maybe.

Shanty-town Pokemon centers probably dont have the in-ball healing method that regular cities do.

Reading this topic just simply reminds me of the differences between the anime and the games.

But yeah, I'd imagine for large Pokémon (such as Tyranitar), there would be speacial treatment for them, because it'd be obvious that an average stretcher couldn't hold them. :P or just imagine a Wailord being treated at a Pokémon Center xD

If I made up a reason off the top of my noggin. It would be something medically accurate. Like they use electrodes (Those sticky patches with the wires coming from them) connected to the machine that heals the Pokémon in their PokéBalls. So they transfer whatever type of energy that heals the Pokémon in Balls directly to the body of a larger Pokémon.

Besides the stated method that the nurses just heal pokemon inside their pokeballs, we can use our imagination to think of something:
If we can put pokemon into tiny pokeballs, there could possibly be a way to manipulate the way that they are released (size = 20%) that may only be able to utilized by pokemon centers. However this would be worrying as we've seen some Nurse Joys and Pokemon Centers that I would never trust with this type of manipulation technology.

It's also possible that in the anime, healing pokemon while inside their pokeballs is like an internal surgery process, so it's expensive and is only used in cases where the pokemon are unable to be taken out. That or the healing inside of pokeballs in very non-specific types of healing (just general boost of vitamins and healing drugs) so it's more effective to treat them by hand.

Pokecenters tend to have large yards or battle fields, so in a worse case scenario they could always just treat them outside.

In The Games they Usually Heal While the pokemon are still in their Pokeballs But in the Anime they take them On strechers and Stuff..So I think There has to be bigger strechers and Different Rooms for them

Because Arceus gave them the power to do so.

And in the games, they don't even come out of their Poke Ball, no matter if it's a Magikarp or a Wailord.

like everybody has said above me. in-game; they stay inside the Pokeball. and in the anime i guess to heal your wailord you would take it too a special PokeCentre.. or they could just use the good ol' super potion! ;D

Depends. If it's a Reshiram or Kyurem, chances are, they won't get caught in a Pokéball by a trainer, or even if that's the case (like Tobias or someone else), the legendary Pokémon would just heal itself, it won't need special care, after all, it's a legendary.

Regarding common large Pokémon like Tyranitar and Dragonite, the PokéCenter is large enough to fit. It's quite large, you know. Not just a small room. Unless it's Wailord. You know Wailord? That tiny guy? Well, if he's hurt, it's on the sea, he wouldn't have been battling on the ground. They'd give him field treatment, where he'll be pulled near the shore and treated on the spot. I vaguely recall something like this happening in the anime. Or was it Pokémon Ranger? I know not.

Like Wailord, there might be other field exceptions, but those can be handled with proper care tbh.
