==Burned==
Burn was first introduced to the TCG in 2002’s {{TCG|Expedition}} and was last seen in 2013’s {{TCG|Legendary Treasures}}. Because it has not been used on a card in a few years, many thought it had been removed from the game.
The Burned Special Condition is the newest Special Condition, officially recognized in 2002 upon the release of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}. The Burned Special Condition is similar to the Poisoned Special Condition. A rule change in 2016 taking effect with the release of {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} altered the procedure for a burn.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-card.com/info/sun_moon-rule/ 「ポケモンカードゲーム サン&ムーン」のルールおよびレギュレーションの変更について | ポケモンカードゲーム公式ホームページ (Japanese)]</ref> The Burned Special Condition is derived from {{TCG|Neo Genesis}}, in which {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Quilava|47}}'s Char attack caused a condition exactly like Burned. Char was not recognized as a Special Condition.


Before, Burned required you to flip a coin between turns and, if tails, place two damage counters on the Burned Pokemon. With the new ruling change (as of {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}), Burned now requires you to automatically place two damage counters on the Burned Pokemon between turns and then flip a coin to determine if it will remain Burned.
Prior to Sun & Moon, once a Pokémon is burned, a Burn marker is placed on it, and the player must flip a coin in between turns. If the coin lands on tails, two damage counters are placed on the Pokémon. Under some conditions, the burn's damage may be increased by the effect of an attack, an Ability, or a Stadium card (i.e., {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Volcarona|22}}'s Scorching Scales Ability causes the afflicted Pokémon to suffer 40 damage). If the coin landed on heads, the Pokémon does not receive any damage but remains Burned.
 
With the release of Sun & Moon, once a Pokémon is burned, two damage counters are placed on it between turns as long as it is burned. 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.

The Poisoned Special Condition is one of the most commonly seen conditions alongside Confused. When a Pokémon is Poisoned, one damage counter must be put on the Pokémon in between each turn. On rare occasions, a Pokémon will cause a Poisoned Special Condition that requires the player to put two, three, or even four damage counters on a Pokémon between turns.
