Paralysis before Colour Change?
The article for Inferno notes that Inferno will cause a burn before Colour Change takes effect. From Generation VI onwards Electric-type Pokémon are now immune to paralysis - do we know if Zap Cannon causes paralysis before Colour Change changes the opponent's type to Electric? --Poppy :3 15:16, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
