Reflect (Japanese: リフレクター Reflector) is a non-damaging Psychic-type move introduced in Generation I.
Contents |
Effect
Generation I
Reflect doubles the user's Defense when the opponent damages the user with a physical move.
Reflect will fail if the user is already under its effect. The effect of Reflect is ignored by self-inflicted confusion damage and critical hits. If Reflect causes the user's defense to reach 1024 or higher at any time during battle calculations, it will be reduced mod 1024.
Generation II and on
Reflect will be in effect for 5 turns and will halve damage taken from physical moves. Reflect will disappear after 5 turns or when the opponent uses Brick Break.
Generation IV
A new held item, the Light Clay, increases the duration of the holder's Reflect, as well as that of the similar move Light Screen, by three turns.
In the anime
 Magcargo using Reflect. |
An invisible wall is put in front of the Pokémon, an almost indestructible defense move that when it's surpassed its breaks in little pieces like a glass breaking. Basically it cut an attack damage in half, the move also lasts several turns even if the Pokémon is changed.
