Let's say my Life Orb Jirachi uses Doom Desire, when will I take recoil?

When the move is used? When it hits? Does LO boost it at all?

Got it!

Life Orb now boosts Doom Desire’s damage, and the user will suffer recoil damageSmogon

This was confirmed in the actual Pokemon game by the user Flafpert. So it was a flaw in Showdown that it didn’t take Life Orb recoil.

Life Orb boosts all damaging moves, and will deduct HP after a successful attack hits, and so in your case, after however many turns it takes doom desire to hit.I assume that you know the general trivia, like the boost, and recoil, and such, so I won’t elaborate…

On the turn the move causes damage. It will take 10% of Jirachi’s total health. (For example, max hp of 150-159=15 damage with use of Life Orb). Hope that helps.
