:''For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set officially abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}.''

'''HP''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|HP|エイチピー}}'''), short for '''Hit Point''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒットポイント}}''' ''Hit Point''), is a [[stat]] that determines how much [[damage]] a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]].

==In the core series games==
Each Pokémon has a maximum HP value, and the current HP value which is somewhere between 0 (if it has fainted) or the maximum HP (if it has full HP).

As with other stats, a Pokémon's maximum HP usually increases with their [[level]], and is a combination of the Pokémon's [[base stats]], [[individual values]], and [[effort values]]. Some [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] tend to have a higher or lower HP than others, and some individual Pokémon may have different HP even if they are of the same species and level. A Pokémon's maximum HP may reach hundreds of points. However, {{p|Shedinja}} is a special case, whose maximum HP is always 1.

A Pokémon needs to have at least 1 HP to be able to {{pkmn|battle}}. If a Pokémon reaches 0 HP, it has [[fainting|fainted]]. However, a fainted Pokémon can still use [[field move]]s outside of battle, such as {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}}, etc.

The player's Pokémon are able to enter into battle with less than full HP if they have not been healed yet. The opposing Pokémon (both wild and owned by NPCs) always start battles with full HP. However, if a [[roaming Pokémon]] takes damage and then flees from the current battle, it will still have the same damage (that is, the amount of HP lost) when it is found for the next battle.

In a battle between Trainers, the objective is causing all the opposing Pokémon to reach 0 HP and faint, at which point the battle ends. In a battle against a [[wild Pokémon]], the player may wish to deal some damage to the wild Pokémon and decrease its HP for the purpose of [[Caught Pokémon|catching]] it more easily. However, if the wild Pokémon reaches 0 HP and faints, the battle will end and this Pokémon will not be caught.

If all Pokémon in the player's [[party]] faint, then the player [[black out|blacks out]]. This causes the player to lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]] and be sent to a [[Pokémon Center]] (or to the [[player's house]] at the start of the game), at which point all of the player's Pokémon will be healed automatically.

===HP bar===
The current and maximum HP of each Pokémon is usually shown as a horizontal bar, which displays how much HP each Pokémon has; this is visible in a [[Pokémon battle]], as well as in the [[party]] and [[summary]] screens. Additionally, the player may see exactly the number of current and maximum HP for each of their Pokémon. The Pokémon that are not owned by the player (including Pokémon owned by [[non-player character]]s, as well as [[wild Pokémon]]) have their HP bars visible in battle as well, but the exact number of their current and maximum HP number is not revealed to the player.

In [[Generation I]], if the HP bar's fill was 27 pixels or wider (out of a total end-to-end length of 48 pixels), it would be colored green; if it was between 10 and 26 pixels, it would be colored yellow; and if it was less than 10 pixels wide, it would be colored red. This means the HP bar turns yellow noticeably earlier than in the later games, or at about 56% of the Pokémon's maximum HP.

From [[Generation II]] onwards, if a Pokémon has more than half of its max HP, its HP bar remains green. If the Pokémon has between one-fifth and half of its HP, the bar will turn yellow (in Generation II, a Pokémon revived to exactly half of their HP will have a green HP bar). If a Pokémon has less than one-fifth of its HP remaining, the bar will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-{{gen|IV}}), a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome ([[Generation V]]), or a series of 4 beeping sounds before fading away (since [[Generation VI]]) will notify the player that their Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]]. Before Generation VI, this beeping will continue until the Pokémon is switched out to another Pokémon which has at least one-fifth of its HP, has its HP raised to one-fifth or higher by any means, or faints.

The HP bar also affects the Pokémon's [[cry]]. Since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, if a Pokémon's HP bar is green, the player will hear the cry of the Pokémon in its normal sounding rate, but if the Pokémon faints, its cry will be lowered by a whole step. Also, since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the Pokémon has less than half its total HP, its cry will be lowered by a half-step to indicate its weakened state.

====Animation====
Prior to Generation VI, the speed at which the HP bar depletes after a Pokémon has received damage is dependent on a Pokémon's HP. Its relation to HP is different per [[generation]],<ref>[[List of glitches in Generation II#HP bar animation|Information about HP bar animation in Generation II]]</ref> but the speed is noticeably different between Pokémon with high and low HP stats. The HP bar in Generation IV depletes 1 HP for every 2 frames at 60 FPS (except for the first HP lost, which only takes 1 frame) for Pokémon with more HP than the number of pixels in the HP bar.<ref>[//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giqb514NgoE Video about HP bar animation in Generation IV]</ref> This leads to Pokémon like {{p|Blissey}} taking over twenty seconds to [[fainting|faint]] from full health at high levels.

Interestingly, HP depletion speed can be used to narrow down how much damage an opponent's Pokémon has taken without seeing its actual HP stats.

[[File:V-create BW.png]] [[File:Destiny Bond V.png]]

The HP bar visibly decreases slower for {{p|Drifblim}} compared to {{p|Shuckle}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Prior to Generation V, the HP bar immediately drops to 0 for the user of a move that causes the user to faint, such as {{m|Explosion}}.

[[File:Explosion IV.png]][[File:Explosion V.png]]

{{p|Electrode}}'s HP immediately dropping to 0 in Generation IV compared to {{p|Gigalith}}'s HP depleting gradually in Generation V.

===Losing HP===
The most common way for a Pokémon to lose HP is by being hit by a move that deals [[damage]]; most [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s can deal damage. However, there are other ways to lose HP, such as making [[contact]] to a Pokémon with {{a|Iron Barbs}}, or being hit by a {{weather|sandstorm}}.

===Restoring HP===
The player may use a [[Pokémon Center]] to heal completely heal all the Pokémon in the party (including their HP, [[PP]], and [[status condition]]s).

In [[Generation I]], it is possible to start a [[Game Link Cable|link]] battle with Pokémon that have less than full HP if they have not been healed yet. However, all Pokémon are completely healed after each link battle. From [[Generation II]] onwards, all Pokémon are automatically healed before all link battles.

In Generation I, the Pokémon deposited in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] are not healed. From Generation {{gen|II}} onwards, the deposited Pokémon are completely healed.

In all core series games, the player's Pokémon are also automatically healed after the first battle against a [[rival]] character.

===Dynamaxing===
{{main|Dynamax|section=Dynamax Level and HP}}
When a Pokémon [[Dynamax]]es, its HP is increased by 50% until the Dynamax state wears off. By increasing a Pokémon's Dynamax Level, this increase can be raised up to 100%, with each level providing a 5% increase.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
{{main|HP (TCG)|section=Trading Card Game series}}

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, a Pokémon is at "critically low HP" when it has less than 25% of its max HP left.

==In the anime==
[[File:HP PO.png|thumb|250px|HP in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
===Main series===
Hit Points have only ever been mentioned in the {{pkmn|anime}} once. Specifically, they were mentioned by {{an|Misty}} in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', and even then, this mention only exists in the [[dub]]bed version.

===Pokémon Origins===
As first seen in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', facilities like [[Gym]]s and the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] feature screens that display a Pokémon's HP in the form a bar, similar to the {{pkmn|games}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:HP Adventures.png|thumb|250px|HP in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
HP has been mentioned several times throughout [[Pokémon Adventures]], the first mention occurring in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'', an HP bar similar to the games was seen at [[Indigo Plateau]].
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:QuaquavalSVPPromo5.jpg|180px|thumb|This {{OBP|Quaquaval|SVP Promo 5}} card has 170 HP, as shown in the top-right corner]]
{{main|HP (TCG)}}
The {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards have an HP (Japanese: {{tt|HP|エイチピー}}) value at the top-right corner. It represents the health of each Pokémon card and the amount of {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|damage}} it can take before being {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Knocked Out}}.
