In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, players will need to venture out to find Pokemon to fill out the first-ever Pokedex for the Hisui region. There are lots of different Pokemon to catch and battle in the wild, but trainers will need to keep an eye on their Pokemon's HP before getting into any sort of confrontation. Even if a wild Pokemon is under-leveled, there's still a chance for it to get the upper hand and knock out a player's team. When a Pokemon's HP hits zero, they will faint and cannot battle any longer until they get healed. By using this handy guide, Pokemon Legends: Arceus players will learn how to revive a fainted Pokemon.

If a player goes into their Satchel by pressing the up button on the d-pad, they can see which Pokemon on their team has currently fainted. Players can try to use healing items like a Potion or Oran Berry , but these items do not work on fainted Pokemon. Also, fainted Pokemon will not receive any XP at all, so it's imperative to get them healed as quickly as possible.

How to Heal Fainted Pokemon

If Pokemon Legends: Arceus players are out in the field and their Pokemon faints, they will need to use an item called a Revive. This type of medicine can be used to revive a single Pokemon, and it restores the Pokemon's health, but only halfway. Players can purchase Revives from the Galaxy Member NPC at the Fieldlands Campsite. Speak to him and select the option " I would like to do some shopping." He will have the Revives for sale for 700 Pokedollars. Of course, players can craft items too, but Revives won't be available to craft at the start of the game.

For the players trying to save their money, they can heal fainted Pokemon by just taking a rest at the Camp, too, by speaking to the Pokemon Legends NPC or interacting with the tent by the crafting table. Resting will heal all the Pokemon on the team to full health, even ones that have fainted.
