'''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. Currently, {{P|Blissey}} has the highest base HP stat among all the Pokémon in the game, with 255. The average base HP stat is 68 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80.

Currently, {{P|Blissey}} has the highest base HP stat among all the Pokémon in the game, with 255 and both of {{p|Giratina}}'s forms have the highest HP stat of all legendary Pokémon at 150. The average base HP stat is 68 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80.


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) or a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V) will notify the player that his or her Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]]. 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.
