Scald has a 30% chance to burn, meaning a 70% chance not to.
0.7^17 = 0.00233
0.233% or a 7 in 3000 chance.
Congratulations OP; you just encountered a shiny with the shiny charm.

This.
The probability of 17 misses in a row is 0.7^17 = approximately 0.23%.
That's about five hundred people using Scald 17 times in a row, and OP being the only one of them to get no Burns.

When it sometimes works in YOUR favour, it can be hilarious.

That's how probabilities works, as long the probability isn't 0 anything can happen

No, Marvel Scale only increases the Pokemon's Defense by 50% if it is suffering from status conditions, such as poison, burn, or paralysis. It's a defense version of Guts.

Scald only has a 30% chance to burn.
