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

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.

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

But what happens?
It doesn't get burned. Say if Smeargle used Thunder Wave on Regirock, would get PAR, but if Smeargle uses Inferno, the screen will not say 'Regirock recieved BRN'.
If you use Will-O-Wisp or a status move it will fail
I know this has been answered satisfactorily, but here's *exactly* what happens:

Adding more detail is fine, as long as it's correct. Just don't expect to get the BA or anything.
Hey 'buttersauros' , you answered this question: http://pokemondb.net/pokebase/236904/happens-after-turning-after-beating-elite-four-champion-oras

(asked by me) but I didn't get it. So you said you would explain it better when you had your laptop, but you never responded. Could you please explain?
But that's not the main Pokemon game.
Yup, I get that. But, just for clarification.
This should've been a comment.
@Poke_Fan_Girl please answer my question on your wall as I can't answer yours until you do :)
I don't get what you mean.
