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 {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|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. | 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.
