Destiny Bond only works if it is used immediately prior to fainting: If the user takes another turn (including 'inactive' turns such as such as those spent {{status|sleep}}ing or {{status|flinch}}ing), the effect disappears. Destiny Bond is not an increased [[priority]] move -- if the user is faster than the opponent (or otherwise moves first), Destiny Bond only lasts for the current turn; conversely, if the user moves last, it takes effect during the next turn. | |||
