if a human was injured by another Pokémon or Pokémon attack, would a Pokémon (maybe your Pokémon) be capable of helping you or helping you get back to normal? or help you recover in any way? or just be capable of trying to get you back to normal?

Keep to the fact that Pokémon attacks range from 20 - 150 in power and what a Pokémon would do help the human in anything of that range

I've actually wondered about this myself. If a bunch of pokemon went nuts and started attacking people, how would they be stopped?

I know this is cliche, but I believe Chansey's/Blissey's eggs work on humans as well as pokemon. It wouldn't heal everything, but it would help a little....

Also, the move healing wish might work if used on a human, but I can't be sure. Remember, in the Sinnoh myths, it seems like humans were once pokemon or are just another kind of pokemon, so who knows?

I don't know if many Pokemon would know enough to heal their trainer if they were to be injured, but I'm sure they'd try everything they could think of, especially if a Pokemon and trainer are really close.

One thing I could see larger Pokemon doing though, is finding a way to get their trainer to a medical facility, by carrying them on their backs and surfing/flying/running there. As for smaller Pokemon, they might enlist the help of larger ones to do the same thing since they wouldn't be able to themselves, or they could just go looking for other people to get some help.

I'd imagine they would, there are pokedex entries that talk about pokemon caring for humans. Particularly lost humans.

Probably depends on the pokemon though. Some would try to get the human to safety or call for help whereas other pokemon like Chansey or Audino would be able to try to heal wounds.

Beyond that, pokemon are smart...with enough teaching they'd probably at least be able to apply bandages (if they have hands...) and care for their trainer to some degree. They'd probably recognise that their trainer shouldn't be left out in the rain or get too cold.

Well, Leavanny (or it pre-evolved forms) would make the perfect role for a bandage-maker, as she can wrap up the injured part with string shot. Any Ice type could make a little ice pack to heal the injured part. If someone couldn't breathe, a Water-type Pokemon that learns Scald would be useful, as it creates a steamy atmosphere. There may be more, but these are the most realistic ideas I could think of at the moment.
Boilurn, the Scald Pokemon and the evolved form of Hottle. It can burn the holder by the lightest of touches when it boils. It can boil 3 gallons of water in one minute.

Sure. Humans help cure Pokémon all the time, so why can't it be vice-versa? One Pokémon that would strongly be able to recover a person is Chansey. With either Wish, Heal Bell, or Aromatherapy, it could make anyone feel better in a blink of an eye. Same goes for Blissey, and every other Pokémon who have access to these moves. Those who are small may not exactly be able to cure you physically, but emotionally, though, they definitely can. If I was ever depressed, hanging out with a Pokémon like Togepi, Budew, Charmander, or Vulpix would cheer me up in an instant. d:

Lucario could probably feel and read his aura and see what kind of medical attention his trainer needs. He also understands human speech (maybe talk?) and take him to pokemon center or apply bandages or whatever until he can get better care.

Thinking about the Pokémon Anime makes this question somewhat canon. Of course Pokémon can do this, but it's not seen that often. A big example is to just think about one line in particular, Happiny>Chansey>Blissey. Their speciality is helping others in need. Another thing is that I've never seen anyone, anime. manga, and games get injured in described scenario.

Yup. Some Pokemon have moves that would help recover a trainer's wound, like Recover, although I'm not sure if it applies to humans. Like one said, a larger Pokemon would be able to carry its trainer to the nearest medical institution and a smaller one would look for help. I imagine though, that a smaller one will also be looking around for berries (I think they help trainers too idk?) or at least other stuff that can cure their trainer.
