What happens if your last Pokémon faints from poison?
If your last Pokémon faints from poison, you will black out and return to the last Pokémon Center you visited, but you will still retain any badges you earned during the battle. This means that even if your last Pokémon falls to poison, your progress in the game will not be significantly impacted, and you can revive your Pokémon and continue your journey.
Understanding Pokémon Fainting and Poison
Pokémon Fainting
When a Pokémon faints, it is unable to battle and must be revived using a Potion or Revive item. If all of your Pokémon faint, you will lose the battle and black out, resulting in a loss of money and a return to the last Pokémon Center.
Pokémon Poison
Poison is a status condition that deals damage to a Pokémon at the end of each turn. If a Pokémon is poisoned, it will continue to take damage until it is cured or faints. Poison can be cured using items such as Antidotes or by evolving the Pokémon.
