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 Pokémon League [[battle judge]], it must be [[recall]]ed and cannot be used again. | In the anime, fainting is referred to as being '''unable to battle''' (Japanese: '''戦闘不能''' ''sentō funō'').
