The user's weight is halved. This decreases the damage taken from {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Grass Knot}}, increases the damage taken from {{m|Heavy Slam}} and {{m|Heat Crash}}, and also lowers user's base power of Heavy Slam and Heat Crash, due to these moves being calculated by the target and user's weight.
Halves the [[weight]] of the Pokémon with this Ability, rounded down to the nearest tenth (e.g., {{p|Metang}}, normally weighing 202.5 kg, will weigh 101.2 kg if it has Light Metal).
 
{{m|Autotomize}} is applied before other weight-modifying effects, including Light Metal. A Pokémon's weight cannot be reduced below 0.1 kg.
 
This has no effect on the [[Heavy Ball]], which uses the Pokémon's species' weight rather than its current weight.
