Destiny Bond

Effect

If an opponent knocks out the user, it also faints. Until the user's next move, if an opposing Pokemon's attack knocks the user out, that Pokemon faints as well, unless the attack was Doom Desire or Future Sight. Fails if the user used this move successfully as its last move, disregarding moves used through the Dancer Ability.
