Talk:Burn Up (move)

Multitype

Apparently Multitype overrides the secondary effect. (Protean doesn't do anything special, as it won't activate on failure and activates before the move is used). Eridanus (talk) 13:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

The question is whether Arceus can use Burn Up twice, and/or whether it will not lose its Fire type. The video only confirms that its sprite will not change. Nescientist (talk) 14:13, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Flash Cannon got the "not very effective" message. Eridanus (talk) 15:43, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

If you use Forests's Curse on a pure Fire-type that used Burn Up...

...does it become Typeless/Grass or pure Grass? Dinosauramiable (talk) 01:31, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Can't say from experience, but I would say that if it is given the Grass type, it's no longer considered typeless, and thus would become pure Grass. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 01:54, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Someone should test that. Dinosauramiable (talk) 00:02, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Since there is no "typeless" type, your question doesn't really make sense to me. How would that hypothetical other person test it? Where would it make a difference? (And if you're concerned about Revelation Dance, it's detailed at that page.) Nescientist (talk) 15:46, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Wonder Guard

So if you Skill Swapped Wonder Guard onto a Pokemon that has used Burn Up, would it take no direct damage? MegaHotFiring (talk) 05:30, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Per Skill Swap:

Skill Swap fails if either Pokémon has the Ability Wonder Guard (...) Nescientist (talk) 11:22, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Mimic + Entrainment is still a thing. As for the question, Wonder Guard does protect Burned Up pokemon from any direct damage. Itan (talk) 11:32, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
