In the games, fainting occurs when a Pokémon reaches 0 HP. This means a Pokémon's HP had reached 0 due to a multitude of things. These include poisoning or confusion. A Pokémon which has fainted is unable to battle until it has been revived, but it is still able to use field moves, such as Fly or Cut. When the the player's party is viewed, any fainted Pokémon will have a red status bar and a status ailment symbol saying FNT.
Pokémon can faint instantly if their opponent successfully uses a one-hit knockout move, such as Guillotine. A Pokémon faints under certain circumstances that occur after the use of Destiny Bond or Perish Song, unless switched out. Moves such as Selfdestruct or Explosion makes the user faint, though it deals massive damage to the opponent, acting as a sort of kamikaze.
Fainting will cause a Pokémon to lose happiness, and it may grow to resent its trainer if it faints often and spends a lot of time unconscious.
Normal items, such as potions or status ailment healing items will not work on a fainted Pokémon. Instead, they either have to be healed at a Pokémon Center or brought back with a Revive, Max Revive, or Revival Herb.
If all of the player character's Pokémon faint, then the trainer will also faint ("<player name> Blacked/Whited Out!"). The player will then be warped back to the last Pokémon Center visited.
In the anime, fainting is referred to simply as being unable to battle. These Pokémon are not always unconscious, but merely do not have the energy, ability, or other reasons to continue battling.
There are many ways that fainting can be avoided, with the most obvious being to return the Pokémon. If the Pokémon uses Endure, it will leave said Pokémon with one HP. Items, like the Focus Sash, also ensure that a Pokémon doesn't faint. However, the Focus Sash works only once.
In Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu returns to its Poké Ball when it has fainted, which is the only time that Pikachu goes in its Poké Ball.
