'''Burn''' (Japanese: '''やけど''' ''Burn'') is one of the five major [[status ailment]]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 {{a|Flame Body}} has a chance to burn on contact.

==Effect==
In general, a burned Pokémon will lose HP every turn, and its damage dealt with a [[physical move]] will be halved. The specifics work differently between [[generation]]s.
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===
===Generation I===
====Red, Blue, and Yellow====
====Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow====
In {{3v|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, a Pokémon loses 1/16 of its total {{stat|HP}} every turn, after it attacks. Its {{stat|attack}} stat is also halved. If a burned Pokémon causes an opponent to faint, it will not take damage that turn.
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 in 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 two irregularities:
There are also some other irregularities:
* If a burned Pokémon's Attack stat is modified (either up or down), the game will ignore the attack drop from the burn.
* A Pokémon will not lose HP on a turn it knocked out its opponent.
* The decrease in Attack doesn't disappear when the Pokémon is cured of the burn through {{m|Rest}}.
* 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====
====Pokémon Stadium====
{{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} is the same as Red, Blue, and Yellow Versions, but the irregularities from said handheld games are fixed.
In [[Pokémon Stadium]] (and the Japan-exclusive {{jpn|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:
Pokémon Stadium also contains two irregularities:
* If an already-burned Pokémon is switched in, it will not lose HP in that same turn.
* 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.
* {{m|Haze}} will remove its user's Attack decrease even while still burned.


===Generation II===
===Generation II===
Same as Generation I, but a burned Pokémon now loses 1/8 of its total HP each turn, after it attacks. All irregularities from Generation I were fixed.
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===
===Generations III and IV===
Like in Generation II, a burned Pokémon has its damage dealt with a [[physical move]] halved, in addition to losing 1/8 of its total HP each turn, but only until the end of the turn. If a burned Pokémon knocks out an opponent, it now will still take burn damage.
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===
===Generation V===
Same as Generation III and IV, but when a Pokémon is burnt, it will now glow red in battle.
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.

Moves that can cause a burn also usually have the effect of thawing {{status|Freeze|frozen}} targets.


===Other causes===
===Other causes===
A Pokémon has a 30% chance of being burned after making [[contact]] with one with the {{a|Flame Body}} Ability. If a Pokémon holds the {{DL|In-battle effect item|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}}.
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]].


==Prevention and curing==
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.
A burn can be cured with the use of a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Burn Heal}}, [[Kuo Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only), or a [[Rawst Berry]] ({{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Ice Berry}} in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status ailment]]s, it can be cured by the items {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Restore}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Old Gateau}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, [[Lum Berry]], {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Miracle Berry}} (Generation II only), {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Casteliacone}}, and [[Sacred Ash]]. {{m|Refresh}} and {{m|Rest}} also remove the burn status ailment from the user, while {{m|Heal Bell}}{{tt|*|Unless the Pokémon has Soundproof as their Ability in Generation III and IV}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}} removes it from all Pokémon in the party, and the move {{m|Safeguard}} will protect the party from status ailments for five turns. A Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, one with the {{a|Hydration}} Ability will be cured whilst it is {{DL|Weather conditions|Heavy rain|raining}}, one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a 30% chance of being cured every turn, one with {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be protected from status ailments in {{DL|Weather conditions|Intense sunlight|intense sunlight}} and one with {{a|Healer}} has a 30% chance of healing allies of status ailments in [[Double battles|double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s.


A Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Heatproof}} will only lose 1/16 of its HP each turn, instead of 1/8th. Those with {{a|Guts}} are immune to the damage-reducing side effect (in addition to the regular attack increase), while Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} are immune to the HP loss. {{type|Fire}} Pokémon are, for the most part, immune to being burned, although if their type is changed through a move like {{m|Soak}} and they are then burned and switched out (resetting to the {{type|Fire}}), the burn status will remain. {{m|Inferno}} will inflict burn before {{a|Color Change}} takes effect, as well. Those with the {{a|Water Veil}} Ability are completely immune.
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 {{OBP|substitute|doll}} cannot be burned, except due to {{a|Synchronize}} or a held [[Flame Orb]].


==Advantages==
==Advantages==
While a burn, like all major status ailments, 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 ailments.

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

==Other game effects==
==Other game effects==
Several Abilities can be circumvented when a Pokémon is burnt, including {{a|Clear Body}}, which usually prevents stat reduction but still takes on the drop in attack caused by a burn.
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.


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 {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|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.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
==={{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 burnt. Burns can be healed by stepping on water tiles (even by Pokémon for which this would normally cause a warp). In certain [[dungeon]]s there is a special type of tile called a '[[Dungeon tiles#Other|lava tile]]', which only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, Pokémon who fly or levitate, and Pokémon with the [[IQ]] skill All-Terrain Hiker can walk through. However, a Pokémon that is not a Fire-type or that does not have the Lava Walker IQ Skill will be burned when walking through lava. Strangely, those that have the Float terrain Ability are also burned when going over lava tiles.

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}} will suffer the effects of burn for up to five turns before being cured, whereas those with Self-Curer will only be burnt for ten turns.

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 will be a lot of fire Pokémon who could burn Sunflora around. Several times during the mission Sunflora does get burnt 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.

==={{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===
===Pokémon Conquest===
As in the main series, burned Pokémon suffer a penalty to their Attack, and take 1/8th their max HP as damage as 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 UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Burned is one of the {{UNITE|status condition}}s. While a Pokémon is burned, it takes damage from that burn repeatedly. If the burn was inflicted by an Attack Pokémon, the status condition will inflict [[Physical move|Attack-based damage]]. If the burn was inflicted by an Sp. Atk Pokémon, Burned instead inflicts [[Special move|Sp. Atk-based damage]]. Burned wears off as time passes.
 
Burned is most frequently inflicted by the moves of {{t|Fire}} Pokémon. Some moves, such as {{UNITE|Trevenant}}'s {{m|Will-o-Wisp}}, bundle in an {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack|Sp. Atk}} decrease to imitate how Burned works in the core series.
 
===Pokémon Quest===
In {{g|Quest}}, Pokémon can be burned. The loading screen tip for "Effect of Burns" explains, "When a Pokémon is burned, they gradually take damage, and the damage they deal to enemies is lessened for a little while."<ref>Pokémon Quest</ref>

{{main|Special Condition (TCG)}}
[[File:Burn Marker.jpg|thumb|A burn marker from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]].]]
[[File:Burn Marker.jpg|thumb|200px|A burn {{TCG|marker}} from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|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.
Burned is one of the five {{TCG|Special Condition}}s in the {{Trading Card Game}}. The other ones are [[Asleep]], [[Poisoned]], [[Confused]], and [[Paralyzed]]. Burned was added as a status condition during the 2002 release of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}. A rule change taking effect with the release of {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} altered the procedure for a burn.


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|Glossary (TCG)|Poké-Power}}s from working, but leaves most [[Glossary (TCG)#Poké-Body|Poké-Bodies]] unaffected.
Only an [[Active Pokémon]] can be Burned, as with any of the Special Conditions. A [[Bench]]ed Pokémon fully ignores any effect that would cause it to be Burned. (One way would be for an effect inflicting Burned to affect an Attacking Pokémon, if that Attacking Pokémon returned to the Bench as part of attacking).


In the TCG there are few ways to remove a burn; including [[evolution|evolving]] a Pokémon, returning a Pokémon to the player's {{DL|Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}, using specific attacks or using selected {{TCG|Trainer card}}s on the affected Pokémon.
When a Pokémon is Burned, a Burn {{TCG|marker}} is placed on the Pokémon as a memory aid. Burned, along with Poisoned, is a Special Condition that is not mutually exclusive. This is due to the fact that a marker is used to track it rather than changing the orientation of the Pokémon, allowing Pokémon to be under the effects of Burned, Poisoned, and one of Asleep, Paralyzed, or Confused at the same time. As a Special Condition, being Burned prevents most {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s and {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s from working. {{TCG|Poké-Body|Poké-Bodies}} are unaffected. The clause that causes some Pokémon Powers to be disabled by Burned is not included on the replacement of Pokémon Powers, [[Ability (TCG)|Abilities]].
 
Prior to {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, while a player's Pokémon is Burned, that player flips a {{TCG|coin}} between turns, as part of {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Pokémon Checkup}}. If it lands on heads, no damage occurs to the Pokémon, but if tails, two damage counters are placed on the card.
 
With the release of Sun & Moon, if a Pokémon is Burned, two damage counters are always placed on it between turns. After the damage is added, the player with the Burned Pokémon flips a coin: on a heads, the afflicted Pokémon recovers from Burned, while on a tails it remains Burned.
 
Burned is resolved after Posioned but before Asleep, and Paralyzed, with Asleep and Paralyzed occurring in that order. (Confused does not do anything during Pokémon Checkup.)
 
Pokémon can recover from Burned in one of the following ways: [[evolution|evolving]] the Pokémon, returning the Pokémon to the player's {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Bench}}, through an effect that makes the Pokémon recover from Burned, such as from an attack or a {{TCG|Trainer card}}, or getting a heads result on a coin flip following the Sun & Moon rule change.
 
There are effects that modify the properties of the Burned condition. Some effects cause more damage counters to be placed on a Pokémon with Burned if it is receiving damage at all. These effects are worded such that they do not stack, as seen with {{TCG ID|Ultra Prism|Infernape|23}}'s Flaming Fighter {{TCG|Ability}}. ("Put 6 damage counters instead of 2 on your opponent’s Burned Pokémon between turns.") Some effects released after {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, such as {{TCG ID|Dragon Majesty|Wela Volcano Park|63}}, prevent Burned from being cured via its coin flip during Pokémon Checkup.
 
===Char===
A similar effect predates Burned, that being the effect of {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Quilava|47}}'s ''Char'' {{TCG|attack}}. Char places Char {{TCG|counter}}s on the Defending Pokémon. When a Pokémon has a Char counter, its owner flips a coin after every turn. A heads result has no effect, but if the result is tails, then 2 damage counters are put on that Pokémon. Effects that place counters or markers are not Special Conditions. As with other effects that place counters, a Char counter will remain on the Pokémon unless it [[evolve]]s, [[devolve]]s, or otherwise leaves play.<ref name="OGCompendium">[https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium.html Compendium ruling], The original Compendium, [[Team Compendium]]</ref> Notably, this means a Pokémon that moves to the Bench will keep its Char counter, which is very distinct from how Pokémon recover from Burned in the same case.<ref name="OGCompendium" /> Only one Char counter can be on a Pokémon at a time.<ref name="OGCompendium" />

Paul's Ursaring burned in the anime

Burn (BRN) (Japanese: やけど Burn) is one of the five major status conditions in the Pokémon games. Generally, if a Pokémon is burned, it will lose a set amount of HP every turn, and its damage dealt by physical moves will be halved. The burn status is evidently associated closely with the 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 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 moves will be halved. The specifics work differently between generations.

Generation I

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow

In Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow (and their Japanese counterparts, Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow), a Pokémon takes damage equal to 1/16 of its maximum HP every turn, after it attacks, or at the end of the turn if it did not attack. Its Attack stat is also halved, subject to the stat modifications glitch. This Attack drop also affects confusion damage.

Every time a Pokémon takes damage from the burn, it is shown as if it were poisoned.

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 badly poisoned by Toxic and cured itself with 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 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 Rest

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

Pokémon Stadium

In Pokémon Stadium (and the Japan-exclusive 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.
  • 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, Tri Attack can burn Fire-types.

Generations III and IV

Instead of modifying the Attack stat, a burn now technically halves the damage a burned Pokémon does with physical moves; it still does not reduce damage done by 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 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 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.

Description

Games Description
LA At the end of each turn, the Pokémon is hurt by its burn. Any damage it deals with physical moves will also be reduced.

Moves that can cause a burn also usually have the effect of thawing frozen targets.

Other causes

A Pokémon has a 30% chance of being burned after making contact with another Pokémon with the 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 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 conditions, 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 Refresh and Rest remove the burn status condition from the user, Heal Bell (unless the Pokémon has Soundproof as their Ability in Generation III and IV) and Aromatherapy remove it from all Pokémon in the user's party, and Sparkling Aria removes it from every Pokémon it hits (unless the Pokémon takes no damage from the move). In addition, the move Psycho Shift shifts the burn onto its target (thereby healing the user). In Generation I only, using Haze cures the opponent from a burn.

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

Prevention

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

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

The moves Safeguard and Misty Terrain (for grounded Pokémon) will protect the party from status conditions for five turns. A Pokémon behind a substitute cannot be burned, except due to 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 Guts, Marvel Scale, Quick Feet, and Flare Boost will have their Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special Attack increased, respectively, when burned (or poisoned or paralyzed for the former three). In addition, the base power of 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 Trace or Role Play gains the Ability Water Veil, the burn will be removed, but once the Ability is lost, the burn will return.

In Pokémon 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, Pokémon Platinum, HeartGold and 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

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 Fire-type.

The effect of Guts also differs slightly, giving a 100% bonus to physical attack, provided that the Pokémon has a major status affliction. Pokémon with Natural Cure or 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 Flareon, and the Ember Cap when held by any member of the Chimchar evolution line.

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky special mission Today's "Oh My Gosh", Sunflora is tasked with the capture of a 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 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 Officer Magnezone to help with her Fire weakness.

My Pokémon Ranch

In My Pokémon Ranch, one of the 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.

Rumble series

Burn (Burned when inflicted in-game) is a negative status in the 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 Skills, items, or by ending a Pokémon's turn in a hot spring or a water bucket.

Pokémon Shuffle

Winking Turtwig is burned

In Pokémon Shuffle, a burned Pokémon takes 50% more damage from Fire-type Pokémon.

A burn can be inflicted by Pokémon with the Burn(+) Skill.

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

Normal Fighting Flying Poison Ground Rock Bug Ghost Steel Fire Water Grass Electric Psychic Ice Dragon Dark Fairy

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Burned is one of the status conditions. While a Pokémon is burned, it takes damage from that burn repeatedly. If the burn was inflicted by an Attack Pokémon, the status condition will inflict Attack-based damage. If the burn was inflicted by an Sp. Atk Pokémon, Burned instead inflicts Sp. Atk-based damage. Burned wears off as time passes.

Burned is most frequently inflicted by the moves of Fire Pokémon. Some moves, such as Trevenant's Will-o-Wisp, bundle in an Attack and Sp. Atk decrease to imitate how Burned works in the core series.

Pokémon Quest

In Pokémon Quest, Pokémon can be burned. The loading screen tip for "Effect of Burns" explains, "When a Pokémon is burned, they gradually take damage, and the damage they deal to enemies is lessened for a little while."[1]

In the anime

Swanna being burned

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

The first instance of a Pokémon being burned in the anime was in Going, Going, Yawn, where Ash's Treecko got its leg burned by a Flamethrower attack from Flannery's Slugma, Meg, during Ash's Lavaridge Gym battle. This led to Treecko's defeat at the hands of Flannery's final Pokémon, Torkoal.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

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

In Casting a Paul on Barry!, Barry's Hitmonlee burned Paul's Ursaring with Blaze Kick during their battle at the Lily of the Valley Conference. However, this activated Ursaring's Guts Ability, allowing it to swiftly defeat Hitmonlee.

In 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 Aggron using Flare Blitz. This allowed Infernape to defeat Aggron with its subsequent Mach Punch.

In 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 Drapion with its Fire Fang. This subsequently caused it to faint due to the previous damage it had already sustained.

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

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

Pokémon Journeys: The Series

In Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!, Ash's Gengar used its newly learned Will-O-Wisp to burn Paul's Metagross, weakening it enough for Gengar to survive its Meteor Mash and defeat it afterward. This marked the first time Will-O-Wisp was used to burn a target without inflicting damage in the anime as previous instances depicted it as a damage-dealing move that did not inflict a burn.

In Battling as Hard as Stone!, Ash's Gengar burned 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 Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!, Ash's Gengar burned Cynthia's Roserade with Will-O-Wisp during Ash and Cynthia's Masters Eight Tournament semifinals battle. In the next episode, Roserade's Natural Cure Ability was revealed to have healed the burn when it was switched out.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Ruby & Sapphire arc

In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon IX, Brawly's Machoke was burned by the illusions created by Blaise's Slugma during their battle in Lilycove City. Although this allowed Machoke to activate its Guts Ability, it wasn't enough to defeat the Magma Admin.

Emerald arc

In Sneaky Like Shedinja, Greta's Umbreon was burned by a Will-O-Wisp from Emerald's Dusclops, leading to its defeat soon after.

In Cunning Kirlia, Emerald's Dusclops burned Ruby's Kirlia, Rara, with Fire Punch. This, however, triggered Rara's Synchronize Ability, causing Dusclops to get burned as well.

Black & White arc

In The Tournament Continues, the Hood Man's Beheeyem got burned by a Scald attack from Marlon's Jellicent. It managed to overcome the burn damage by using Recover.

X & Y arc

In Heracross Transforms, Korrina's Lucario was burned by a Will-O-Wisp from Essentia's Trevenant.

Sword & Shield arc

In Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw, Casey's Scorbunny used the heat pads on its feet to burn a wild Drednaw.

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

Scarlet & Violet arc

Scarlet's Armarouge left Brassius's Sudowoodo with a burn after using Lava Plume on it, thus bypassing its Sturdy Ability and defeating it.

Phantom Thief Pokémon 7

In Challenge From A Rival, during a battle between Rocco's Magmortar and Hiori's Lucario, Lucario got burned by Magmortar's 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 Smokescreen, Lucario was able to defeat Magmortar with a powered-up Facade, surprising his opponent.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team

In I Want to be Human Again!, Ginji and Mudkip encountered Xatu 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 Flamethrower at Xatu, burning him. When Xatu's vision soon stopped, he finally felt the burn, yelling in pain.

In the TCG

Main article: Special Condition (TCG)
A burn marker from the TCG.

Burned is one of the five Special Conditions in the TCG. The other ones are Asleep, Poisoned, Confused, and Paralyzed. Burned was added as a status condition during the 2002 release of the Expedition Base Set. A rule change taking effect with the release of Sun & Moon altered the procedure for a burn.

Only an Active Pokémon can be Burned, as with any of the Special Conditions. A Benched Pokémon fully ignores any effect that would cause it to be Burned. (One way would be for an effect inflicting Burned to affect an Attacking Pokémon, if that Attacking Pokémon returned to the Bench as part of attacking).

When a Pokémon is Burned, a Burn marker is placed on the Pokémon as a memory aid. Burned, along with Poisoned, is a Special Condition that is not mutually exclusive. This is due to the fact that a marker is used to track it rather than changing the orientation of the Pokémon, allowing Pokémon to be under the effects of Burned, Poisoned, and one of Asleep, Paralyzed, or Confused at the same time. As a Special Condition, being Burned prevents most Pokémon Powers and Poké-Powers from working. Poké-Bodies are unaffected. The clause that causes some Pokémon Powers to be disabled by Burned is not included on the replacement of Pokémon Powers, Abilities.

Prior to Sun & Moon, while a player's Pokémon is Burned, that player flips a coin between turns, as part of Pokémon Checkup. If it lands on heads, no damage occurs to the Pokémon, but if tails, two damage counters are placed on the card.

With the release of Sun & Moon, if a Pokémon is Burned, two damage counters are always placed on it between turns. After the damage is added, the player with the Burned Pokémon flips a coin: on a heads, the afflicted Pokémon recovers from Burned, while on a tails it remains Burned.

Burned is resolved after Posioned but before Asleep, and Paralyzed, with Asleep and Paralyzed occurring in that order. (Confused does not do anything during Pokémon Checkup.)

Pokémon can recover from Burned in one of the following ways: evolving the Pokémon, returning the Pokémon to the player's Bench, through an effect that makes the Pokémon recover from Burned, such as from an attack or a Trainer card, or getting a heads result on a coin flip following the Sun & Moon rule change.

There are effects that modify the properties of the Burned condition. Some effects cause more damage counters to be placed on a Pokémon with Burned if it is receiving damage at all. These effects are worded such that they do not stack, as seen with Infernape's Flaming Fighter Ability. ("Put 6 damage counters instead of 2 on your opponent’s Burned Pokémon between turns.") Some effects released after Sun & Moon, such as Wela Volcano Park, prevent Burned from being cured via its coin flip during Pokémon Checkup.

Char

A similar effect predates Burned, that being the effect of Neo Genesis Quilava's Char attack. Char places Char counters on the Defending Pokémon. When a Pokémon has a Char counter, its owner flips a coin after every turn. A heads result has no effect, but if the result is tails, then 2 damage counters are put on that Pokémon. Effects that place counters or markers are not Special Conditions. As with other effects that place counters, a Char counter will remain on the Pokémon unless it evolves, devolves, or otherwise leaves play.[2] Notably, this means a Pokémon that moves to the Bench will keep its Char counter, which is very distinct from how Pokémon recover from Burned in the same case.[2] Only one Char counter can be on a Pokémon at a time.[2]

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 Corsola figure and the X Accuracy card from the 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 Unnamed Third Set, it was heavily implied that the burn status was planned for an official release in this set, as evidenced by three of the unreleased figurines.
