Take 20 Damage After Every Turn

Status Effect
Burn IconBurn Take 20 damage for every turn
Every turn, the player must do a coin toss. If it lands on Heads, the pokemon heals from its Burn.

A pokemon afflicted with Burn will take 20 damage every turn until it recovers. Unlike Poison, which cannot recover naturally, a Pokemon can heal from Burn by getting Heads on a coin toss.

This effect can last more than 1 turn until it is cured.

What is a Pokemon Check?

There is a phase at the end of each Player's turn where all pokemon with status effects will be checked by the game. If you have a status condition, the game will make you take damage, do a coin toss, or recover naturally.

Since checks happen on every change of turns, your status ailments can also cure at the end of your opponent's turn.
