On Smogon's Movedex:

Light Screen (Japanese:ひかりのかべLight Wall) is a non-damagingPsychic-type move introduced inGeneration I.

It is:

TM16 fromGeneration III toPokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, inPokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, as well as inPokémon Legends: Z-A.
TM06 inPokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
TM17 inPokémon Sword and Shield.
TM075 inPokémon Scarlet and Violet.

It is thespecial counterpart toReflect.

Effect

Generation I

Light Screen doubles the user'sSpecial when the opponent damages the user with aspecial move.

Light Screen will fail if the user is already under its effect. The effect of Light Screen is ignored bycritical hits. If Light Screen causes the user's special to reach 1024 or higher at any time during battle calculations, it will be reducedmod 1024.

The effects of Light Screen can be lifted byHaze.

Generation II

Light Screen now remains in effect for 5 turns and will double theSpecial Defense of any Pokémon on the user's side of the field instead.

Haze can no longer lift the effects of Light Screen.

Generation III

Instead of doubling the Special Defense of affected Pokémon, Light Screen now technically halves the damage done to them byspecial moves; it still does not reduce damage done bymoves that deal direct damage.

If multiple Pokémon are present on the user's side of the field, all of them are protected by Light Screen, but special damage is only reduced by a third rather than half.

Light Screen is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if an opponent usesBrick Break orShadow Shed on it (even if it is immune to Brick Break due to beingGhost-type), unless it isprotected from the move or the move misses.

Light Screen can be used as the second move of aPokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point ifCalm Mind was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV

Light Screen is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if a Pokémon usesBrick Break orDefog on its ally (even if it is immune to Brick Break due to beingGhost-type), unless it isprotected from the move or the move misses.

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

Generation V onwards

Light Screen is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if it is hit byBrick Break,Defog,Psychic Fangs, orRaging Bull, or if a Pokémon withScreen Cleaner is sent out. Light Screen is not removed if the target is immune to the move (e.g. a Ghost-type Pokémon targeted by Brick Break). Pokémon with the AbilityInfiltrator ignore the effects of Light Screen when attacking.

Unlike Generations III and IV, Light Screen now always reduces damage by (roughly) a third rather than a half (specifically, with a multiplier of 2703/4096 inGeneration V, or 2732/4096 inGeneration VI onward) inDouble Battles andTriple Battles, regardless of how many Pokémon on a given side are being protected by it. InGeneration VII,Battle Royals also use this multiplier.

InPokémon Legends: Z-A, Light Screen will always reduce damage by (roughly) a third, specifically, applying a multiplier of 0.66.

If powered up by aPsychium Z into Z-Light Screen, the user'sSpecial Defense stat rises by one stage.

UsingGlitzy Glow will set up Light Screen on the user's side of the field.

Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Light Screen is one ofMr. Mime's two starting moves, as well as one ofMew's possible second moves. Mr. Mime can learn it either at level 1 or 3 (depending ifFake Out is learned first), while Mew obtains it by reaching level 3 and choosing it overCoaching andAgility.

With Mr. Mime, Light Screen has the user create a wall of light in the designated area, preventing opposing Pokémon from passing. If opposing Pokémon are near the location where the wall is created, they're shoved and left unable to act for a short time.

By reaching level 6 with Mr. Mime, Light Screen is upgraded into eitherBarrier orPower Swap (previouslyGuard Swap).

With Mew, Light Screen has the user create a translucent wall at the designated location. Opposing Pokémon cannot pass through the wall and will be shoved if contact with it is made. If Mew'sElectro Ball,Solar Beam, orSurf passes through the wall, their effects—such as damage, range, and area of effect—will be boosted. Also, if Light Screen is used again while the previous wall is still at play, it is pulled closer and starts moving with Mew. While so, attacks from opposing Pokémon that pass through it have their damage reduced.

By reaching level 12 with Mew, Light Screen is upgraded intoLight Screen+, and the size of the wall is increased.

Trivia

Light Screen ending in Battle Revolution.

Light Screen displays animation when it ends on its own inPokémon Battle Revolution.
Despite having distinct effects in the games,Reflect, Light Screen,Barrier,Protect, andSafeguard are often depicted in the animated series seemingly sharing the same effect that Protect has in the games (protecting the user from most the effect of moves).
