Effects

Two turns after the move is selected, Doom Desire will deal damage. If the opponent switched Pokemon in the meantime, the damage dealt will depend on the Special Defense of the Pokemon the move hits, not the Pokemon it was originally targeted at.

Changes

In Generations 1-4, Doom Desire has a base power of 120 and 85% accuracy.

The damage Doom Desire deals in these games is typeless. Furthermore, it uses the Special Defense stat (Defense in Generation 3 due to its categorization) of the originally targeted Pokemon, even if it switched out in the meantime.
