Burn (status condition): Difference between revisions
→In the TCG: marker is linked now. Did some rearranging of sections. The rules change only affects what the coin flip does, so everything else got moved to a new paragraph above the coin flip. This caused the sentence involving the coin flip to get rearranged.

Burned is one of the five special conditions recognized in the {{Trading Card Game}}. The other ones are [[Asleep]], [[Poisoned]], [[Confused]], and [[Paralyzed]]. Burned was officially recognized as a status condition during the 2002 release of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}. It can be argued that the Burned 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. | Burned is one of the five special conditions recognized in the {{Trading Card Game}}.

When a Pokémon is burned, a burn {{TCG|marker}} is placed on the Pokemon as a memory aid. 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. The clause that causes some [[Pokémon Power]]s to be disabled by Burned is not included on the replacement of Pokemon Powers, [[Ability (TCG)|Abilities]]. | |||
Prior to {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, while a player's Pokémon is burned, that player flips a {{TCG|coin}} between each player's turn, as part of [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Pokémon Checkup|Pokémon Checkup]]. If it lands on heads, no damage occurs to the Pokémon, but if tails, two damage counters are placed on the card. | |||
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 | 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 is cured of the burn, while on a tails it remains burned. | ||

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 (Ultra Prism 23)|Infernape]]'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 [[Wela Volcano Park (Dragon Majesty 63)|Wela Volcano Park]] prevent Burned from being cured via its coin flip during [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Pokémon Checkup|Pokémon Checkup]]. | There are effects that modify the properties of the Burned condition.
