Light Screen

PsychicStatus

Light Screen reduces damage from Special attacks by 50%, for 5 turns. Its effects apply to all Pokémon on the user's side of the field. If the user is holding Light Clay when Light Screen is used, its effects last for 8 turns. The move Brick Break, when used against an Pokémon under Light Screen's effect, will remove the screen before dealing damage. The ability Infiltrator bypasses the effects of Light Screen. Light Screen is the Special counterpart to Reflect.
