Light Metal (Japanese: ライトメタル Light Metal) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. It is exclusively obtained as a Hidden Ability. All Pokémon that have this Ability are Steel types.
Effect
In battle
The user's weight is halved. This decreases the damage taken from Low Kick and Grass Knot, increases the damage taken from Heavy Slam and Heat Crash, and also lowers user's base power of Heavy Slam and Heat Crash, due to these moves being calculated based on the target's and user's weights.
Outside of battle
Light Metal has no effect outside of battle.
