I'm sure this has happened to you before. You have plenty of potions in your item storage, but you just can't get any revives, despite spinning gym discs and opening gifts. So your pokemon just stay fainted, much to your frustration.
Well, here are a few ways to restore health w/o revives:
-
Mega Pokemon. If you didn't know, every time you mega evolve your pokemon, they are restored to full health, even if they have fainted. You are only limited by the cooldown timer every time after you have mega evolved, which can be shortened to 3 days if you have level 3 mega level.
-
Best Buddy pokemon. When your best buddy is your current buddy, it goes from fainted to have 1hp, which then you can just use potions to restore health. You don't even have to interact with your buddy (ie, feed, play or take snapshot).
-
Powering up pokemon. If it so happens that the pokemon that has fainted is one that you'd power up in anyway, just do it. The pokemon will go from fainted to 1hp. This is the least useful method cuz it actually uses candies and stardust everytime.
Of these 3 methods, the mega evolution method is actually the best, since it still works if you don't have potions and revives. Best buddies is still useful, and actually gives a case for best buddy-ing your useful pokemon, even if its a grind to earn 300 hearts.
