Wish (move)

Wish (Japanese: ねがいごと Wish) is a non-damaging move introduced in Generation III.

Generation III
The turn Wish is used, the user will make a wish. At the end of the next turn, the Pokémon in the user's current position will be healed by half its own maximum HP.

Wish can still be used even if the user's HP is full, but it will do nothing if the Pokémon that should be healed has full HP.

Wish cannot be blocked by.

Generation IV
Wish will now cast its healing effect before a Pokémon switches in for a Pokémon knocked out in that turn.

Generation V onward
Wish now heals for half of the user's maximum HP rather than the recipient's. Wish can now be stolen by.

Wish can be used as a part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing, and  to give an extra three appeal points if any of them is used in the next turn.

If powered up by a Normalium Z into Z-Wish, the user's stat is raised by one stage.

In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, and the Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare) games, Wish causes the user to gain the Wish status, which boosts the user's HP recovery rate.

In, the user gains the Wish status on the first turn and then recovers 75% of max HP to the user and to all adjacent allies on the next turn.

Trivia

 * In Generation III, the status screen erroneously states that the move has 100% accuracy, even though it targets the user (thus it ignores accuracy and evasion checks).
