I was watching a video and the guy sent out his Pokemon and say "if course, you're burn too!" and he couldn't attack. Is it just me or it like that bad in the original (sort of) games? Please help me! Thank you! :)
In Red, Blue, and Yellow Versions, a Pokémon loses 1/16 of its total HP every turn, after it attacks. Its attack stat is also halved. If a burned Pokémon causes an opponent to faint, it will not take damage that turn.
Yes, you can attck, but you Attack stat gets cut in half.
