If you had a Pokemon with 25% HP, will using Substitute make them knock themselves out?

No. Substitute fails if there is a insufficient amount of HP remaining. This is to prevent such scenario from rising in the first place. Sort of a fail safe type thing, in case it was used by accident or when it could be use but can be no longer,such as a attack due to a faster opponent.

Hope it helped

it wouldnt let the Pokemon use substituteexperience
Gen I The Pokemon would faint if it uses Substitute with hp 25% or less
Gen II III IV and V the Pokemon would be unable to use substitute

If the user of Substitute has 25% or less of its max HP (rounded down), or it only has a maximum of 1 HP, such as Shedinja, it will be unable to make a substitute.
Probaly not. The people who made Pokemon proboly woudn’t make you self destruct your Pokemon. ( Unless you use Explosion Self destruct ect.)
