In the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], fainting occurs when a Pokémon reaches 0 [[HP]], causing the Pokémon to leave the battle with a slowed or distorted [[cry]]. A Pokémon which has fainted is unable to battle or gain [[experience]] points if it would have until it has been revived. However, it can still [[Evolution|evolve]] after battle if the required criteria were met (unless the player blacks out), and it is still able to use [[field move]]s, 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 condition]] of FNT. | In the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], fainting occurs when a Pokémon reaches 0 [[HP]], causing the Pokémon to leave the battle with a slowed or distorted [[cry]].

If all Pokémon in the player's party have fainted, they [[black out]] and lose some [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. In {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles, the money is paid to the winner, whereas in battles with [[wild Pokémon]] the money is dropped in panic. The amount of money given or dropped is determined by the level of the Pokémon in the player's party and are the same amount as each other. | If all Pokémon in the player's party have fainted, they [[black out]] and lose some [[Pokémon Dollar|money]].

Fainting can also happen when using the [[Pomeg Berry]] in certain older games, known as the [[Pomeg glitch]]. As the Pomeg Berry reduces HP [[EV]]s, if a Pomeg Berry is applied to a Pokémon with low HP, the Pokémon may faint as a result. | Fainting can also happen when using the [[Pomeg Berry]] in certain older games, known as the [[Pomeg glitch]].

Normal [[item]]s, such as [[Potion]]s or status condition healing items, will not work on a fainted Pokémon. Instead, they can only be healed by talking to a certain NPC (usually at a [[Pokémon Center]]), resting in a bed, depositing the Pokémon in a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] (prior to [[Generation VIII]]), using the [[move]] {{m|Revival Blessing}} in battle, or using a reviving item either in battle or otherwise. | Normal [[item]]s, such as [[Potion]]s or status condition healing items, will not work on a fainted Pokémon.

[[Rare Candy]] and [[Exp. Candy|Exp. Candy]] can also potentially revive a fainted Pokémon due to the {{stat|HP}} gained upon [[level]]ing up.

===Avoiding fainting=== | |||
There are many ways that fainting can be avoided, with the most straightforward being to simply remove a Pokémon from battle while it is still healthy. If a Pokémon uses {{m|Endure}}, attacks will leave it with 1 HP. The [[held item]]s [[Focus Sash]] and [[Focus Band]] can also ensure that a Pokémon does not faint. In addition, starting in [[Generation V]], if a Pokémon with {{a|Sturdy}} is hit by an attack which would cause it to faint while it has full HP, it will survive with 1 HP. Pokémon with an [[affection]] level of 3 or higher will sometimes survive fainting with 1 HP instead. | There are many ways that fainting can be avoided, with the most straightforward being to simply remove a Pokémon from battle while it is still healthy.

==In the spin-off games== | |||
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series=== | |||
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], fainting occurs under the same conditions as the core series. | |||
Prior to Super Mystery Dungeon, when a Pokémon faints, a {{DL|Seeds|Reviver Seed}} will be taken from the player's bag and automatically be used, becoming a {{DL|Seeds|Plain Seed}}. If a Pokémon faints and the player does not have a Reviver Seed, the Pokémon will be sent out of the dungeon, but it will not be dismissed unless it was recruited on this visit. If the player, the partner in story-related missions, a client that is being escorted, or another important character faints, the mission will be considered a failure, the entire team will be sent back and all{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TD}} or half{{sup/md|S}}{{sup/md|GtI}}{{sup/md|SMD}} of their [[Poké]] and a majority of their inventory will be lost. If the player attacks a [[Kecleon Shop]] and gets defeated by Kecleon, items that are not lost will be turned into {{DL|Seed|Plain Seed}}s. | |||
In Super Mystery Dungeon, if both {{DL|Seeds|Tiny Reviver Seed}}s and Reviver Seeds are in the Bag, the player may choose which one to use on a fainted party member. Outside of story missions, the player may also choose to not use either type of Reviver Seed when a party member faints, though only if the Pokémon isn't the last one remaining. If a party member faints without using a Reviver Seed, a {{DL|Wonder Orb|Revive All Orb}} will still be able to revive it later. If a Guest Pokémon (excluding {{p|Hoopa}}) faints, it will warp to a random room on the floor and must be given a Tiny Reviver Seed or Reviver Seed before it can continue exploring. Unlike previous games, the party will not lose their [[Poké]] or items if they move on to a different floor without reviving the guest. | |||
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], the player can find fainted Pokémon randomly in dungeons. These Pokémon can be recruited by giving them any variety of Apple from the [[Toolbox]]. | |||
===e-Reader games=== | |||
In the [[e-Reader]] game [[Machop At Work]], the player {{p|Machop}} faints if it loses the game from being hit by a falling rock. | |||
