Light Screen (Japanese: ひかりのかべ Light Wall) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation I.
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 special damage done to any of the party Pokémon on the user's side
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.
