Light Screen reduces damage from Special attacks by 50%, for 5 turns. Its effects apply to all Pokémon on the user's side of the field.
If the user is holding Light Clay when Light Screen is used, its effects last for 8 turns.
The move Brick Break, when used against an Pokémon under Light Screen's effect, will remove the screen before dealing damage. The ability Infiltrator bypasses the effects of Light Screen.
Light Screen is the Special counterpart to Reflect.
When a Pokémon is holding Psychium Z and uses its Z-Power, Light Screen turns into Z-Light Screen and raises Special Defense one stage, in addition to its usual effect as above.
