Light Screen (move)

Light Screen is a -type status move that temporarily decreases the opponents damage. It is TM16 and can be bought for 2000 in Greenpine City.

Effect
Light Screen technically halves the damage done to them by special moves; it still does not reduce damage done by moves that deal direct damage. Light Screen now remains in effect for 5 turns.

Light Screen is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if any Pokémon (including an ally) uses  or  on it (even if it is immune to Brick Break due to being Ghost-type), unless it is protected from the move or the move misses.

If Light Clay is held when Light Screen is used, it will extend the duration of Light Screen from 5 to 8 turns.
