What happens if I use a Burn inflicting move but the target is already paralyzed?

Question

I mean, it can't have two status conditions right?

Comments

It will fail. Once a Pokemon has a status move, you can't give it another or replace it. If the move causes damage as well as a burn, the move will do the damage but will fail to burn.

Didn't add enough new information to warrant an answer.

Ok, thanks for telling me man.

Answer 1

No, it can't. Status don't replace each other.

But that's not the main Pokemon game.

Yup, I get that. But, just for clarification.

This should've been a comment.

I don't get what you mean.
