Doom Desire (move): Difference between revisions

'''Doom Desire''' (Japanese: '''はめつのねがい''' ''Doom Desire'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Steel}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is {{p|Jirachi}}'s [[signature move]] and can be said to be a more powerful version of {{m|Future Sight}}.

On the turn Doom Desire is selected, this attack will do nothing other than state that the user has chosen Doom Desire as its destiny. Two turns later, Doom Desire will do damage against the target, using the Attack stat of the user and Defense stat of the target ''at the time of use'' (not at the time the attack actually hits; if the target is switched out, the attack will hit its replacement). Although Doom Desire is a Steel-type attack, it will not take type into account, ignoring weaknesses, immunities and resistances. Therefore, it does not get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]]. Furthermore, Doom Desire cannot cause a [[Damage modification#Critical hit|critical hit]].

Doom Desire can hit through {{a|Wonder Guard}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Detect}}. It can [[fainting|knock-out]] a target that used {{m|Endure}} but one using {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}} may be able to survive.

Doom Desire cannot be used on a target multiple times; it must complete before it may be used on a target again. {{m|Future Sight}} and Doom Desire cannot be stacked.

Same as Generation III, but its damage is calculated by the user's Special Attack stat and the target's Special Defense instead. Its damage is not increased by {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}} and it cannot cause a Pokémon wearing a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} that has full HP to faint.

Furthermore, Doom Desire now does {{type|Steel}} damage that will take the user's and target's types into account and can therefore receive [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]]. Doom Desire no longer uses the Special Defense stat of the targeted Pokémon, but instead the Special Defense of the hit Pokémon.
