'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. The average base HP stat is 68 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80. | '''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]].

If a Pokémon has more than half of its HP, its HP bar remains green. If the Pokémon has between one-fifth and half of its HP, {{tt|the bar will turn yellow|In Generation II, a Pokémon revived to exactly half of their HP will have a green HP bar.}}. If a Pokémon has less than one-fifth of its HP remaining, the bar will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-IV and VI), a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V), or a series of 4 beeping sounds before fading away | If a Pokémon has more than half of its HP, its HP bar remains green.

This beeping will continue until the Pokémon is switched out to another Pokémon which has at least one-fifth of its HP, has its HP raised to one-fifth or higher by any means, or faints. | ||
The HP bar also affects the Pokémon's [[cry]]. If a Pokémon's HP bar is green, the player will hear the cry of the Pokémon in its normal sounding rate, but if the Pokémon has less than half of its HP remaining or has fainted, its cry will be lowered by a half-step to indicate its weakened state. | The HP bar also affects the Pokémon's [[cry]].
