There are several reasons for | There are several reasons for substituting Pokémon in the {{pkmn|games}}. The most basic can be a simple strategic decision to battle using another Pokémon in lieu of using a [[move]], recalling the active one to switch in another; the new Pokémon switches in at the start of the turn but cannot be commanded until the next turn. Any Pokémon that [[fainting|faints]] must also be recalled, and the {{pkmn|Trainer}} can switch in another Pokémon to continue the battle if possible. In a wild Pokémon battle, after a Pokémon faints, its Trainer may attempt to [[escape|flee]] instead of continuing the battle, but if it fails, they must switch in a new Pokémon instead. A handful of moves also include switching as part of their effect: {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Volt Switch}}, and {{m|Parting Shot}} return the user to the [[party]] and allow the Trainer to send in a different Pokémon. The [[held item]] [[Eject Button]] also makes the holder switch out when hit by an attack. | ||
In some cases, Pokémon may be forced to withdraw from a battle. The moves {{m|Circle Throw}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, {{m|Roar}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}} force their target to be recalled and randomly replaced by another Pokémon. Pokémon with the [[Ability|Abilities]] {{a|Wimp Out}} and {{a|Emergency Exit}} switch out in Trainer battles when their HP falls below half, forcing their Trainers to select another Pokémon to send out. The held item [[Red Card]] causes a Pokémon that hits the item's holder to switch out and be replaced by a random Pokémon from its party. However, Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}} are immune to these effects. | In some cases, Pokémon may be forced to withdraw from a battle.
