Aurora Veil (move): Difference between revisions

→‎Effect: (will also disappear if you target your ally with Psychic Fangs/Brick Break, but I guess that's harder to word and bloats Reflect/Light Screen too much; Psychic Fangs/Brick Break have that most accurate wording anyway)
(Removed the question of Brick Break/Psychic Fangs, as that has been answered and added per the source given by Dirtytabs.)

Aurora Veil reduces the [[damage]] done to the user by [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s for five turns by half; in battles with allies, Aurora Veil protects the user and all allies, but only reduces damage by a third rather than half. It does not reduce damage done by {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}}. Aurora Veil can only be used during {{weather|hail}}, but the effect remains even after the hail ends; {{a|Cloud Nine}} and {{a|Air Lock}} will cause Aurora Veil to fail even if it is hailing. The damage reduction stacks with the effects of {{m|Reflect}} and {{m|Light Screen}}.
