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

Effect

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 Special Attack stat of the user and Special 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 STAB. Furthermore, Doom Desire cannot cause a critical hit and its damage is not increased by Life Orb.

Doom Desire can hit through Wonder Guard, Protect, and Detect. However, Protect or Detect will stop Doom Desire if used on the turn Doom Desire is first used. It can knock-out a target that used Endure, but not one wearing a Focus Sash.

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

When Doom Desire misses, the miss will not occur until the third turn, and it will say "it failed".

User	First Episode Used In		Notes
Jirachi	There are many phases for Doom Desire. First, Jirachi starts to glow silver for a while, to charge the attack. Next, it starts to glow a very bright light and it flies up and raises the opponent into the air and it leaves behind a streak of white light, like a comet. Then, it lets off pulses of a multitude of colors and soars farther into the sky. Once it is high enough, it lets off an explosion of a multitude of colors. Finally, a meteor shower is released from the explosion.
