 Haze can no longer lift the effects of Light Screen.
-===Generation III onwards===
+===Generation III===
 Instead of doubling the Special Defense of affected Pokémon, Light Screen now technically halves the damage done to them by [[special move]]s; it still does not reduce damage done by {{cat|moves 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 will disappear immediately if an opponent uses {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Defog}} or {{m|Psychic Fangs}}, and in {{Pokémon XD}}, {{m|Shadow Shed}}. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Infiltrator}} will ignore the effects of Light Screen when attacking.
+Light Screen is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if an opponent uses {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Shadow Shed}} on it (even if it is immune to Brick Break due to being {{type|Ghost}}), unless it is {{cat|Protection moves|protected}} from the move or the move misses.
 Light Screen can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining an extra appeal point if {{m|Calm Mind}} was used in the prior turn.
-If {{DL|In-battle effect item|Light Clay}} is held when Light Screen is used, it will extend the duration of Light Screen from 5 to 8 turns.
+===Generation IV===
+Light Screen is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if any Pokémon (including an ally) uses {{m|Brick Break}} or {{m|Defog}} on it (even if it is immune to Brick Break due to being {{type|Ghost}}), unless it is {{cat|Protection moves|protected}} from the move or the move misses.
+If [[Light Clay]] is held when Light Screen is used, it will extend the duration of Light Screen from 5 to 8 turns.
+===Generation V onward===
+Light Screen is removed from a Pokémon's side of the field if it is hit by {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Defog}} or {{m|Psychic Fangs}}. 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 Ability {{a|Infiltrator}} ignore the effects of Light Screen when attacking.
 If powered up by a {{DL|Z-Crystal|Psychium Z}} into Z-Light Screen, the user's {{stat|Special Defense}} stat rises by one stage.
