Reflect is a defensive move. When used in battle, Reflect reduces the damage from physical moves by about ⅓ (1,364/4,096).

Reflect lasts for five turns. However, if the user is holding a Light Clay, Reflect’s duration will be extended to eight turns. Reflect remains active in battle even after the user switches out.

If used with a Psychium Z, Reflect becomes Z-Reflect. While retaining Reflect’s base effect, Z-Reflect also raises the user’s Defense stat by one stage.

Tip: The moves Defog and Brick Break will remove Reflect’s effect. Pokémon with the ability Infiltrator will bypass Reflect’s damage reduction.

In competitive play, Reflect is often used in combination with Light Screen. This strategy is commonly referred to as “Dual Screens”.

In a main story playthrough, Reflect can be useful if you struggle against physical-based Totem Pokémon. But overall, most opponents in the main story are too weak to justify using a move slot on Reflect.
