Remember, burn status means that the physical strength of a Pokémon is halved, so he couldn’t burn the Pokémon severely enough for it to be a status in the same way he lights candles on fire
You do have a case for freezing stuff, but that’s the biggest problem is whether or not Wobbuffet takes it as an attack. There are no frozen status moves in Pokémon so would an ice breath attack, of which there are only damaging moves in Pokémon, be taken as a status move to Wobbuffet?
