Do Fire-type Pokemon get burned after using Burn Up?

Question

For example, a Coalossal that learns Burn Up uses it and does Coalossal get burned? Answer under.

Answer 1

Replay

After using Burn Up, Ho-Oh was able to get burned.
After switching out, the Ho-Oh was still burned even after regaining its fire type.

(I used Ho-Oh in the replay instead of Coalossal but its still the same answer.)

If you're asking if Burn Up itself burns, then the other answers cover that.

Hope this helped.

Thanks

Answer 2

It doesnt burn itself. Instead, it loses its fire type. For example, if you use it on a moltres, it will become only a flying type.

The user becomes vulnerable to burns after using burn up, right? What happens if it gets burned and then regains the fire type by switching out and switching back in?

Answer 3

This move doesn’t give a burn to the user. Ever.

Burn Up fails if the user is not Fire-type, making the move always fail after the first use until the Pokémon regains its Fire type (either by switching out, or other type changing effects such as through Protean or Reflect Type); Burn Up cannot thaw the user if the move would fail (due to the user not being Fire-type).

Here’s what it does:

If used by a Fire-type Pokémon, Burn Up will thaw out the user if it is frozen, and then inflict damage to the target and cause the user to lose its Fire type.

If the user is a pure Fire-type Pokémon, it will become typeless.

All of the Pokémon that can learn Burn Up are Fire types.
