Fainting: Difference between revisions

Fainting can also be caused through [[status ailment]]s. When a Pokémon has been poisoned, every four steps will reduce the Pokémon's HP by one point until it faints (In [[Generation IV]], the poison will be cured when the Pokémon has 1 HP, and in [[Generation V]] poison does not harm Pokémon outside of battle). {{t|Steel}} and {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned. It is removed either by an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}}, a [[Pecha Berry]] or by similar [[status ailment healing item]]s.  {{status|Burn}}ed Pokémon can faint during battle by taking enough damage, but not outside of battle. A {{status|Confusion|confused}} Pokémon is at risk for turning its attack on itself, thus reducing its own HP and possibly making itself faint. Confusion can be removed by a {{DL|Flute|Yellow Flute}}, [[Persim Berry]] or by simply switching the Pokémon out of battle.
