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

Effect

Generation I

Light Screen doubles the user's special when the opponent damages the user with a special attack that has a power.

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 and III

Light Screen will be in effect for 5 turns and will halve damage taken from Special Attacks. In Generation II, it will also increase the user's SP Defense. Light Screen will dissapear after 5 turns or when the opponent uses Brick Break.
