How to get Booster Energy in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Even though Booster Energy provides boosts for your Pokemon just like other Held Items in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, the way of obtaining it significantly differs from others. First and foremost, you should know that Booster Energy can not be purchased directly in shops across Paldea.
The only way to obtain this valuable item is to find it in a pile of rubble located at Zero Lab. The main disadvantage is that Zero Lab is located in Area Zero. This area is unlocked only after completing the final storyline, which makes Booster Energy one of the rarest items in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

+ 2What is Booster Energy in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?
Booster Energy is a single-use item. Therefore, it works only one time. If you unequip Booster Energy from your Pokemon, it will become an empty capsule without direct impact.
You should also remember that Booster Energy only works for Pokemon with Protosynthesis and Quark Dive. It boosts the central stat for 1.5x and all other stats for 1.3x. If Pokemon has equal stats, Booster Energy will increase the first stat according to the alphabet. As such, it's a great way to boost your party members for one tough battle.

Booster Energy will not be activated while your Pokemon with Protosynthesis and Quark Drive is on Sun or Electic terrain. In these cases, your Pokemon will get a boost from field conditions, but not from the Booster Energy. So, the maximum possible boost will be only 1.5x for speed and 1.3x for other stats.
When the field conditions are inactive, the stat boost will be deactivated immediately, even if it happens during the battles. Moreover, you will receive a special message like “The effects of Protosynthesis/Quark Drive have worn off…,” indicating that you stopped receiving boosts from the field conditions. But your Pokemon will activate the Booster Energy as soon as you lose the conditions boost, so the multipliers will stay effective during the whole fight.
