In the {{pkmn|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. Fainted Pokémon are often depicted with stunned expressions or as having spirals in their eyes.

In the {{pkmn|game}}s, fainting occurs when a Pokémon reaches zero {{stat|HP}}, causing the Pokémon to leave the screen with a slowed or distorted [[cry]]. A Pokémon which has fainted is unable to battle until it has been revived, but it is still able to use {{OBP|field move|main series}}s, such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Cut}}. When the {{player}}'s [[party]] is viewed, any fainted Pokémon will have a red FNT status bar or a [[status condition]] of FNT.

Pokémon can faint instantly if their opponent successfully uses a [[one-hit knockout move]], such as {{m|Guillotine}}. A Pokémon faints under certain circumstances that occur after the use of {{m|Destiny Bond}} or {{m|Perish Song}}. The moves {{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, {{m|Healing Wish}}, {{m|Lunar Dance}}, and {{m|Final Gambit}} cause the user to faint. A Pokémon can also faint from certain [[weather conditions]], [[status condition]]s, [[item]]s, and [[Ability|Abilities]].
