Black out

Black Out is the status that occurs when all the Pokémon on the player's team faint. This can occur in and out of battle. As long as all the pokémon on the team have no HP, blacking out occurs. However, this will not occur through the use of the Pomeg Glitch.

Effects of Blacking Out

• Money is lost depending on the game. Before FireRed and LeafGreen were released, half of the money on hand was lost. Afterwards, the money lost depends on who is being fought, and the location.
• You return to the last Pokémon Center you used.
