'''Burn''' (Japanese: '''やけど''' ''Burn'') is one of the five major [[status ailments]] 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.

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|poison|poisoned}} or {{status|paralysis|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.
