Each Pokémon in battle without a perish count receives a perish count of 4. (Fails if no Pokémon in battle received a perish count this way.) At the end of each turn (including the current turn), for each Pokémon in battle with a perish count, in turn order, that count is reduced by 1 and the Pokémon faints (and a new Pokémon enters the battle immediately) if that count is then 0. (The game is not decided until after reducing the count of all those Pokémon.) A Pokémon’s perish count is removed when it leaves the battle (except Baton Pass).
