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}} and the Pokémon [[cry|cries]] at low pitch. 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. | ||
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}}. The moves {{m|Selfdestruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, {{m|Healing Wish}}, and {{m|Lunar Dance}}, cause the user to faint, but also have another positive effect. A Pokémon can also faint from certain [[weather conditions]], [[status ailment]]s, [[item]]s, and [[Ability|Abilities]]. | Pokémon can faint instantly if their opponent successfully uses a [[one-hit knockout move]], such as {{m|Guillotine}}.
