History[]
First Sighting[]
Desert Seed being fired at a planet
A Desert Devil arrives on Earth and the Pretty Cure defeat it with all their Forte attacks, leaving behind a device through which Dune contacts the Pretty Cures and tells them he will be sending another Desert Seed to Earth and that the Desert Devil will turn all the greenery into a desert. Dune quickly shows the girls a demonstration. The four watch as a Desert Seed is fired at a planet full of life. When the Seed impacts the planet, it quickly turns into a desert and the four girls are left with no other option but to go back to the Pretty Cure Palace and take the Ultimate Test to gain access to the Super Silhouette.
Obtaining the New Power[]
Dune sends a Desert Seed to Earth, forcing the Pretty Cures to undergo the ultimate test to gain more power. Cure Marine, Sunshine, and Moonlight pass their tests and shortly after the Desert Seed crashes, causing the Desert Devil to be born. This one is bigger and stronger than the previous Desert Devil. The three quickly decide they must battle it without Cure Blossom and buy her time to complete her test. The three manage to keep the Desert Devil busy long enough to allow Cure Blossom to complete her test and all four use their new power, the Super Silhouette. With their new powers from the Heartcatch Mirage, they use the Heartcatch Orchestra attack which defeats the Desert Devil and making the world safe.
HUGtto! Pretty Cure[]
After turning into an Oshimaida, Doctor Traum summoned an army of monsters to fight the Pretty Cures, primarily Oshimaidas but also including monsters faced by previous teams, including a Desert Devil. It fired several lasers that were blocked by Shiny Luminous’s Heartiel Brooch, Cure Mint’s Emerald Saucer, Cure Sunshine’s Sunflower Aegis, Cure Rosetta’s Rosetta Reflection, and Cure Ange’s Heart Feather! shields. The Desert Devil was subsequently pierced by Cure Dream, Cure Happy, and Cure Yell in the first one’s Shooting Star, then obliterated by the latter two’s respective Happy Shower and Heart For You! blasts.HuPC37
