I need a refresher on Special Conditions. Do I have this right?

Confusion: You can retreat, but if you try to attack then you fip a coin. If tails, the attack is cancelled and you take 20.

Paralyzed: Can't do anything. No Retreat, no attack, etc. You can use Powers, Bodies, Abilities right?

Poisoned: Take 10 inbetween turns.

Burned: Flip inbetween turns. Tails you take 20.

Asleep: Flip inbetween turns. If you hit tails then you can't attack or retreat. Can you use PokePowers/PokeBody/Abilities?

I know if an Ability/Power/Body says "You can't use this Body/Power/Ability each turn if affected by a Special Condition" means you can't use it.

EDIT: I mean by asking about no Power/Body is if the Condition itself stops you from using them. Like if Ability Samurott BW is Asleep, if being Asleep cancels the Ability. But I got my answer. Thanks guys.
 
With confusion you take 30, not 20. Everything else seems to be in order I suppose.

Responded via e-mail notification, sorry to give you two answers.
 
Well you answered your own question about if you can use the powers or not. There are some you can use if the Pokemon is affected by a special condition. And about poison, confusion, and burn. They are all placing damage counters on the Pokemon. Not straight damage.
