Fainting

In the Pokémon Video Game Fainting is when a Pokémon has 0 or less HP (this means takes damage > than their HP , not actually having negative HP) and also makes it unable to battle until its hitp. Normal healing items (e.g Full Heal or Potion) will NOT work on a fainted Pokémon. Instead , they either have to be healed at a Pokécenter or revived with a Revival/Revive (50% of max hitpoints rounding down) or a Full/Max Revival/Revive (100% of max hp).

There are a few ways a Pokémon can faint:

1. Battle Damage
2. Poison
3. Destiny Bond
4. Parish Song
