 In the anime, fainting is referred to as being '''unable to battle''' (Japanese: '''戦闘不能''' ''sentō funō''). A Pokémon is shown to be unable to battle when its eyes are "swirly" - presumably to emulate dizziness. During a [[Pokémon League]] match, once a Pokémon is deemed unable to battle by an official League judge, it must be [[recall]]ed and cannot be used again; however, this only true in the [[Pokémon anime]] and some of the {{pkmn|manga}}, not the {{pkmn|games}}.
-When [[Misty's Staru]] fainted in [[a battle|EP 151]], since it did not have eyes, its core flashes to show it can't fight anymore.
+This can happen in any number of ways, though (as in the games) the most common is to merely attack the opponent with moves like {{m|Tackle}}, which inflict damage without other side effects.
