'''Fainting''' (Japanese: '''ひんし''' ''Dying'') is a status ailment featured in which a Pokémon is no longer able to {{pkmn|battle}}. 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|game}}s, fainting occurs when a Pokémon reaches zero {{Stat|HP}}. A Pokémon can lose HP through such methods as {{status|Poison}}ing or self-injury inflicted during {{status|Confusion}}. A Pokémon which has fainted is unable to battle until it has been revived, but it is still able to use field moves, such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Cut}}. When the {{player}}'s [[party]] is viewed, any fainted Pokémon will have a red FNT status bar or a [[status ailment]] of FNT. | '''Fainting''' (Japanese: '''ひんし''' ''Dying'') is a status ailment featured in which a Pokémon is no longer able to {{pkmn|battle}}.
