Effect

Reduces damage from physical attacks by half.

Erects a barrier around the user’s side of the field that reduces damage from physical attacks by half for five turns. In double battles, the reduction is 1/3. Critical hits are not affected by the barrier. If the user is holding Light Clay, the barrier lasts for eight turns. Brick Break or Defog used by an opponent will destroy the barrier.

"A wondrous wall of light is put up to reduce damage from physical moves for five turns."

Where to find it

Game-by-game pickup locations, plus wild Pokémon that may be holding the TM.
