In the {{pkmn|anime}}, fainting is referred to simply as being unable to battle. These Pokémon are not always unconscious, but merely do not have the energy, ability, or other reasons to continue battling. Fainted Pokémon are often depicted with stunned expressions or as having spirals in their eyes. | In the {{pkmn|anime}}, fainting is referred to simply as being unable to battle.

Pokémon can faint instantly if their opponent successfully uses a [[one-hit knockout move]], such as {{m|Guillotine}}. A Pokémon faints under certain circumstances that occur after the use of {{m|Destiny Bond}} or {{m|Perish Song}}.

If all Pokémon in a Trainer's party have fainted, they will be unable to battle and [[black out]], and the player will lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. In {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles, the money will be paid to the winner, but in battles with [[wild Pokémon]], the money will be dropped in panic. | If all Pokémon in a Trainer's party have fainted, they will be unable to battle and [[black out]], and the player will lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

Fainting can also be caused through [[status | Fainting can also be caused through [[status condition]]s. When a Pokémon has been poisoned, every four steps will reduce the Pokémon's HP by one point until it faints (In [[Generation IV]], the poison will be cured when the Pokémon has 1 HP, and in [[Generation V]], poison does not harm Pokémon outside of battle). {{t|Steel}} and {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned. It is removed either by an {{DL|Status condition healing item|Antidote}}, a [[Pecha Berry]] or by similar [[status condition healing item]]s. {{status|Burn}}ed Pokémon can faint during battle by taking enough damage, but not outside of battle. A {{status|Confusion|confused}} Pokémon is at risk for turning its attack on itself, thus reducing its own HP and possibly making itself faint. Confusion can be removed by a {{DL|Flute|Yellow Flute}}, [[Persim Berry]] or by simply switching the Pokémon out of battle. | ||
All of these conditions are also removable upon the use of a Pokémon Center, (or depositing the Pokémon in the PC) though it is wise to keep the aforementioned items in supply for usage when needed. | All of these conditions are also removable upon the use of a Pokémon Center, (or depositing the Pokémon in the PC) though it is wise to keep the aforementioned items in supply for usage when needed. | ||
