==Effect==
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 self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} damage, [[critical hit]]s, or {{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}}.

Aurora Veil is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if it is hit by {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Defog}} or {{m|Psychic Fangs}}. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Infiltrator}} ignore the effects of Aurora Veil when attacking.
