Light Screen (Japanese: ひかりのかべ Light Wall) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I.

Contents

Effect

Generation I

Light Screen doubles the user's Special when the opponent damages the user with a special move.

Light Screen will fail if the user is already under its effect. The effect of Light Screen is ignored by critical hits. If Light Screen causes the user's special to reach 1024 or higher at any time during battle calculations, it will be reduced mod 1024.

Generation II

Light Screen will be in effect for 5 turns and will halve damage taken from special moves.

Generation III

Same as above, but Light Screen will disappear immediately if the opponent uses Brick Break or Shadow Shed (in Pokémon XD).

In a double battle, both the user and its ally are protected by Light Screen, but special damage is only reduced by a third rather than half.

Generation IV

Same as above, but if Light Clay is held when Light Screen is used, it will extend the duration of Light Screen from 5 to 8 turns.
