[[File:Ursaring Burn status.png|thumb|250px|[[Paul's Ursaring]] burned in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
'''Burn''' (BRN) (Japanese: '''やけど''' ''Burn'') is one of the five major [[status condition]]s in the Pokémon games. Generally, if a Pokémon is burned, it will lose a set amount of {{stat|HP}} every turn, and its damage dealt by [[physical move]]s will be halved. The burn status is evidently associated closely with the {{t|Fire}} type, since most moves which can burn belong to this type, Pokémon of this type are immune to burns, and the Fire-type Pokémon exclusive Ability {{a|Flame Body}} has a chance to burn on contact.

==Effect==
In general, a burned Pokémon will take damage every turn, and the damage it deals with [[physical move]]s will be halved. The specifics work differently between [[generation]]s.

===Generation I===
====Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow====
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} (and their Japanese counterparts, {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}), a Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum {{stat|HP}} every turn, after it attacks, or at the end of the turn if it did not attack. Its {{stat|Attack}} stat is also halved, subject to the [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Stat modification errors|stat modifications glitch]]. This Attack drop also affects {{status|confusion}} damage.

Every time a Pokémon takes damage from the burn, it is shown as if it were {{status|poison}}ed.

There are also some other irregularities:
* A Pokémon will not lose HP on a turn it knocked out its opponent.
* If a Pokémon that had previously been {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by {{m|Toxic}} and cured itself with {{m|Rest}} is burned, burn damage will draw upon (and increase) Toxic's '''N''' value to calculate how many multiples of 1/16 of the Pokémon's HP is taken as damage.
* Using {{m|Swords Dance}} would return the halved Attack to normal and double it.
* The attack drop stays even if the Pokémon's burn was cured due to an item or {{m|Rest}}

Fire-type Pokémon cannot be burned by Fire-type moves.

====Pokémon Stadium====
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} (and the Japan-exclusive {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}), burn is the same as the handheld games, but the irregularities from said handheld games (including the stat modifications glitch) are fixed.

Pokémon Stadium also contains two irregularities:
* If an already-burned Pokémon is switched in, it will not lose HP in that same turn.
* {{m|Haze}} will remove its user's Attack decrease even while still burned.

===Generation II===
Same as Generation I, but a burned Pokémon now takes damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP every turn, after it attacks, or at the end of the turn if it did not attack. All irregularities from Generation I were fixed.

Every time a Pokémon takes damage from the burn, it now has a unique animation, separate from the poison damage animation.
In [[Generation II]] only, {{m|Tri Attack}} can burn Fire-types.

===Generations III and IV===
Instead of modifying the {{stat|Attack}} stat, a burn now technically halves the damage a burned Pokémon does with [[physical move]]s; it still does not reduce damage done by {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}}.

Burn now inflicts damage at the end of its turn. If a burned Pokémon knocks out an opponent, it will now take burn damage.

If a burned Pokémon has the Ability {{a|Guts}}, burn's damage reduction is ignored (and its Attack is boosted by Guts).

Fire-type Pokémon can no longer be burned by any method.

===Generation V===
The Attack drop from burn no longer lowers confusion damage.

===Generation VI===
If a burned Pokémon uses {{m|Facade}}, burn's damage reduction is now ignored.

===Generation VII===
A burned Pokémon once again takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP at the end of each turn.

===Other causes===
A Pokémon has a 30% chance of being burned after making [[contact]] with another Pokémon with the {{a|Flame Body}} Ability. If a Pokémon holds the [[Flame Orb]], it will be burned at the end of the turn. It can also be burned if it directly burns a Pokémon with {{a|Synchronize}}.

==Curing==
A burn can be cured with the use of a [[Burn Heal]], [[Yago Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only), or a [[Rawst Berry]] ([[Ice Berry]] in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status condition]]s, it can be cured by the items [[Full Heal]], [[Rage Candy Bar]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Casteliacone]], [[Lumiose Galette]], [[Shalour Sable]], [[Big Malasada]], [[Full Restore]], [[Heal Powder]], [[Lum Berry]] ([[MiracleBerry]] in Generation II), and [[Sacred Ash]].

The moves {{m|Refresh}} and {{m|Rest}} remove the burn status condition from the user, {{m|Heal Bell}} (unless the Pokémon has {{a|Soundproof}} as their Ability in Generation III and IV) and {{m|Aromatherapy}} remove it from all Pokémon in the user's party, and {{m|Sparkling Aria}} removes it from every Pokémon it hits (unless the Pokémon takes no damage from the move). In addition, the move {{m|Psycho Shift}} shifts the burn onto its target (thereby healing the user). In Generation I only, using {{m|Haze}} cures the opponent from a burn.

Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, those with the {{a|Hydration}} Ability will be cured whilst it is {{weather|rain}}ing. Pokémon with {{a|Shed Skin}} have a 30% chance of being cured every turn, and Pokémon with {{a|Healer}} have a 1/3 chance of curing their allies.

==Prevention==
A Pokémon that is currently {{type|Fire}} cannot become burned, except in [[Generation II]] by {{m|Tri Attack}}. However, a burned Pokémon retains this status condition even if it [[type change|gains this type]] in battle (or regains this lost type once it is switched out or the battle ends).

A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}} can become burned by a Fire-type move, because the Pokémon changes into the same type of the move after the status condition is inflicted.

Pokémon with the {{a|Water Veil}}, {{a|Water Bubble}}, {{a|Comatose}}, or {{a|Purifying Salt}} [[Ability|Abilities]] are completely immune to being burned. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Heatproof}} will only lose half the HP each turn, Pokémon with {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be protected from status conditions in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}. Pokémon with {{a|Guts}} are immune to the damage-reducing side effect (in addition to the regular attack increase the Ability grants), while Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} are immune to the HP loss (but still suffer from the attack drop).

The moves {{m|Safeguard}} and {{m|Misty Terrain}} (for [[grounded]] Pokémon) will protect the party from status conditions for five turns. A Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}} cannot be burned, except due to {{a|Synchronize}} or a held [[Flame Orb]].

==Advantages==
While a burn, like all major status conditions, has primarily negative effects, it can be advantageous to have it in certain conditions. Pokémon with {{a|Guts}}, {{a|Marvel Scale}}, {{a|Quick Feet}}, and {{a|Flare Boost}} will have their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Speed}}, and {{stat|Special Attack}} increased, respectively, when burned (or {{status|poisoned}} or {{status|paralyzed}} for the former three). In addition, the base power of {{m|Facade}} is doubled (from 70 to 140) when inflicted with any of these three status conditions, and the Attack drop caused by burn is ignored.

The burn status also adds a 1.5× multiplier to the [[catch rate]] of any given Pokémon.

In Generation I-IV, the burn status also halves confusion damage

==Other game effects==
If a burnt Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}} gains the Ability {{a|Water Veil}}, the burn will be removed, but once the Ability is lost, the burn will return.

In {{game|Emerald}}, when the player is inside the [[Battle Pyramid]], the types of Pokémon encountered on each floor follow a set of categories; one of these categories is Pokémon with moves that burn.

In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, at the [[Battle Arcade]], one of the effects caused by the roulette is the burn status (does not affect Fire-type Pokémon and Pokémon with Water Veil). This will last for a single battle.

==In the spin-off games==
==={{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}===
The Mystery Dungeon series introduces a new way for Pokémon to be burned, as well as a new way for it to be avoided. The Pokémon will lose 5 HP at the end of its next turn, and every 20 turns after that. Pokémon on water tiles cannot be burned. Burns can be healed by stepping on water tiles (even by Pokémon for which this would normally cause a warp). Conversely, lava tiles will cause a burn if the Pokémon stepping on them is not {{type|Fire}}.

The effect of {{a|Guts}} also differs slightly, giving a 100% bonus to physical attack, provided that the Pokémon has a major status affliction. Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} or {{a|Shed Skin}} will suffer the effects of a burn for up to five turns before being cured.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], certain [[trade items]] can also cause the burn status to be passed onto an attacking Pokémon, this includes the Fire Collar when held by a {{p|Flareon}}, and the Ember Cap when held by any member of the {{p|Chimchar}} {{p|Monferno|evolution}} {{p|Infernape|line}}.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] special mission [[Today's "Oh My Gosh"]], {{p|Sunflora}} is tasked with the capture of a {{p|Haunter}} who has the Ability to get back up after fainting. The mission is close to the [[Hot Spring]], so there are many Fire-type Pokémon who could burn Sunflora around. During the mission, Sunflora does get burned by two {{p|Slugma}}, as well as by some fire and magma in the cave. Despite this, she beats the three Haunter and is given a Sun Scarf by {{p|Magnezone|Officer Magnezone}} to help with her Fire weakness.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], one of the {{DL|My Pokémon Ranch|toys}} the player can place in their Ranch is called the ''Bonfire''. Pokémon, as well as Miis, that get too close to it are at risk of being burned. Fire-type Pokémon cannot be burned.

==={{pkmn|Rumble series}}===
<!--Checked in World only-->
Burn ('''Burned''' when inflicted in-game) is a negative status in the {{pkmn|Rumble series}}. When a Pokémon is affected by a burn, its HP will gradually drain at a rate determined by the Power of the Pokémon that inflicted it for ten seconds. However, if the affected Pokémon is controlled by a player, moving around will make the condition wear off faster, with the minimum duration depending roughly on the Pokémon's Speed. Additionally, while burned, most of the Pokémon's attacks will have their damage reduced to about 60% of their normal values. While Burned, red smoke emanates from the affected Pokémon's head.

No types are immune to burn, but Pokémon with the Fire Boost or Steady [[Special Traits]] cannot be burned, and those with the Reflector Trait will cause the user of the burn-inflicting move to become burned instead if hit by one.

===Pokémon Conquest===
As in the main series, burned Pokémon in [[Pokémon Conquest]] suffer a penalty to their Attack, and take damage equal to 1/8 of their maximum HP at the end of their army's turn, rounded down. This occurs even if the Pokémon took no action that turn. Pokémon can be burned by attacks, abilities, or the Pyro Nodes in [[Dragnor]]. Enemy Warriors who have their Pokémon defeated by burn damage are not treated as being defeated by the player and so cannot be recruited. Burned Pokémon can be cured through certain [[Warrior Skill]]s, items, or by ending a Pokémon's turn in a hot spring or a water bucket.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], a burned Pokémon takes 50% more damage from {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

A burn can be inflicted by Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Burn}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Burn+|+}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}.

{{t|Poison}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Dragon}}-type Pokémon are immune to burns.

==In the anime==
[[File:Skyla Swanna Burn.png|thumb|250px|{{TP|Skyla|Swanna}} being burned]]
The first instance of a Pokémon being burned in the {{pkmn|anime}} was in ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', where [[Ash's Treecko]] got its leg burned by a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack from [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}}, Meg, during {{Ash}}'s [[Lavaridge Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. This led to Treecko's defeat at the hands of Flannery's final Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}.

In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', [[Ash's Pikachu]] was burned when his {{m|Quick Attack}} caused [[Paul's Magmortar]] to trigger its {{a|Flame Body}} [[Ability]], contributing to his loss at the hands of [[Paul's Ursaring]].

In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', {{an|Barry}}'s {{p|Hitmonlee}} burned [[Paul's Ursaring]] with {{m|Blaze Kick}} during their battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. However, this activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, allowing it to swiftly [[Fainting|defeat]] Hitmonlee.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', during the [[Full Battle]] between Ash and [[Paul]] at the Lily of the Valley Conference, [[Ash's Infernape]] managed to burn Paul's {{p|Aggron}} using {{m|Flare Blitz}}.

In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', during the conclusion of Ash and Paul's Full Battle at the Lily of the Valley Conference, [[Ash's Gliscor]] managed to burn Paul's {{p|Drapion}} with its {{m|Fire Fang}}. This subsequently caused it to faint due to the previous damage it had already sustained.

In ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]'', [[Skyla's Swanna]] was burned after being drenched by a {{m|Scald}} attack from [[Cilan's Stunfisk]], causing its entire body to glow with a red hue. Its burn subsided when it used {{m|Aqua Ring}}, even though the move doesn't cure burns in the [[core series]] games.

In ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'', [[Ash's Gengar]] used its newly learned {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} to burn Paul's {{p|Metagross}}, weakening it enough for Gengar to survive its {{m|Meteor Mash}} and defeat it afterward.

In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Ash's Gengar burned {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s Aggron with Will-O-Wisp during Ash and Steven's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] battle. The additional damage inflicted by the burn enabled Gengar to defeat Aggron soon after.

In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', Ash's Gengar burned {{an|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Roserade}} with Will-O-Wisp during Ash and Cynthia's Masters Eight Tournament semifinals battle. In [[JN124|the next episode]], Roserade's {{a|Natural Cure}} Ability was revealed to have healed the burn when it was switched out.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS247|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon IX]]'', [[Brawly]]'s {{p|Machoke}} was burned by the illusions created by [[Blaise]]'s {{p|Slugma}} during their battle in [[Lilycove City]]. Although this allowed Machoke to activate its {{a|Guts}} [[Ability]], it wasn't enough to defeat the {{tc|Magma Admin}}.

===={{chap|Emerald}}====
In ''[[PS317|Sneaky Like Shedinja]]'', [[Greta]]'s {{p|Umbreon}} was burned by a {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} from [[Emerald's Dusclops]], leading to its defeat soon after.

In ''[[PS321|Cunning Kirlia]]'', {{adv|Emerald}}'s Dusclops burned {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Kirlia}}, [[Rara]], with {{m|Fire Punch}}. This, however, triggered Rara's {{a|Synchronize}} Ability, causing Dusclops to get burned as well.

===={{chap|Black & White}}====
In ''[[PS514|The Tournament Continues]]'', the [[Colress|Hood Man]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}} got burned by a {{m|Scald}} attack from [[Marlon]]'s {{p|Jellicent}}. It managed to overcome the burn damage by using {{m|Recover}}.

===={{chap|X & Y}}====
In ''[[PS561|Heracross Transforms]]'', [[Korrina's Lucario]] was burned by a Will-O-Wisp from [[Emma|Essentia]]'s {{p|Trevenant}}.

===={{chap|Sword & Shield}}====
In ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]'', [[Casey Shield|Casey]]'s {{p|Scorbunny}} used the heat pads on its feet to burn a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Drednaw}}.

In ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]'', Casey's Scorbunny used the heat pads on its feet to burn a {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}'s {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Linoone}}. However, this ended up activating Linoone's {{a|Quick Feet}} Ability. Later in the same round, another Team Yell Grunt's {{p|Thievul}} burned a [[Dynamax]] {{p|Gurdurr}} with {{m|Fire Fang}}. This, however, activated Gurdurr's {{a|Guts}} Ability, leading to Thievul being quickly defeated.

===Phantom Thief Pokémon 7===
In ''[[P7-03|Challenge From A Rival]]'', during a battle between [[Rocco]]'s {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Hiori]]'s {{TP|Hiori|Lucario}}, Lucario got burned by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} Ability. After several strategies to defeat the difficult opponent, Lucario used the burn it received to its advantage. Using its ability to sense the [[Aura]] to see through Magmortar's {{m|Smokescreen}}, Lucario was able to defeat Magmortar with a powered-up {{m|Facade}}, surprising his opponent.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team===
In ''[[GRT2|I Want to be Human Again!]]'', [[Ginji]] and {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}} encountered {{OBP|Xatu|Red and Blue Rescue Team}} at the [[Hill of the Ancients]]. When they first approached him, however, he was in the process of viewing the future, and didn't respond to their calls. In an attempt to get his attention, Ginji launched a {{m|Flamethrower}} at Xatu, burning him. When Xatu's vision soon stopped, he finally felt the burn, yelling in pain.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Special Conditions (TCG)}}

Burning is one of the five special conditions recognized in the {{Trading Card Game}}. It was officially recognized as a status condition during the 2002 release of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}. It can be argued that the burning condition started in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} set, where {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Quilava|47}}'s Char attack caused exactly the same condition; however, it was not officially recognized as a special condition. A rule change taking effect with the release of {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} altered the procedure for a burn.

Prior to Sun & Moon, once burned, a burn marker needs to be placed on the Pokémon and a {{TCG|coin}} must be flipped between turns. If it lands on heads, no damage occurs to the Pokémon, but if tails, two damage counters are placed on the card. Unlike in the games, special conditions are not necessarily mutually exclusive, allowing Pokémon to experience several special conditions all at once. Burning can also prevent {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Poké-Power}}s from working, but leaves most [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Poké-Body|Poké-Bodies]] unaffected.

With the release of Sun & Moon, if a Pokémon is burned, two damage counters are placed on it between turns. After the damage is added, the player with the burned Pokémon must flip a coin: on a heads, the afflicted Pokémon is cured, while on a tails it remains burned.

In the TCG there are a few ways to remove a burn. These include [[evolution|evolving]] a Pokémon, returning a Pokémon to the player's {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}, using specific attacks or using selected {{TCG|Trainer card}}s on the affected Pokémon.

==In the TFG==
Burning was never officially introduced in the [[Trading Figure Game]] as a status condition due to the cancellation of the project. However, there are references to its future introduction in the {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Corsola|15}} figure and the {{TFG ID|Next Quest|X Accuracy|7}} card from the {{TFG|Riptide}} Starter Set. The card implies that burn would have had something to do with the miss value.

In information discovered after the cancellation of the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, it was heavily implied that the burn status was planned for an official release in this set, as evidenced by [[Entei (Unnamed Third Set 10)|three]] of the [[Flareon (Unnamed Third Set 12)|unreleased]] [[Goldeen (Unnamed Third Set 14)|figurines]].

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], the blackboard detailing status conditions in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Pokémon Academy]] implies that burns cut both power ({{stat|Attack}}) and {{stat|Speed}}, which is false. This was changed in [[Generation II]] (as well as the [[remake]]s), in which the blackboard no longer mentions Speed reduction.
