Say that I am battling a Pokémon, either a wild one or one owned by a trainer. If it uses the same move enough times (perhaps a Magikarp who keeps using Splash), is it possible for it to run out of PP and use Struggle?

I'm especially interested in third, fifth, and sixth generation because that's the ones I own, but information for all generations would be appreciated.

Do enemy trainers have infinite PP?

No they cannot. In Gen I alone, trainer Pokemon and wild Pokemon have infinite PP for all their moves.

What happens when all your moves run out of PP?

When a pok\xe9mon can no longer use moves, it instead uses "Struggle". This damages both the user and the defending pok\xe9mon. Inevitably, one or both will faint.

Then, back to Fairy, to Steel, to Flying, and so on. Eventually it'll run out of PP for Earthquake (it can only use it 10 times) and you can move in your Steel-type to chip it away and finish off!
