Gale Shield is a non-damaging Flying-type move. It is the signature move of Valkyroir.
Description
The user surrounds itself and its allies in a wall of howling gales and razor-sharp feathers.
Effects
Gale Shield raises a barrier that lasts five turns and reduces damage from both physical and special moves targeting Pokémon behind it by about 25%, regardless of the number of Pokémon protected by the barrier. Any Pokémon using a move that makes contact against a target protected by Gale Shield will receive damage equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP.
Gale Shield can be nullified by the effect of Defog or the Screen Cleaner ability, though not by the effects of Brick Break, Raging Bull or Psychic Fangs.
A Pokemon with the Infiltrator ability ignores the effects of Gale Shield when attacking, and does not take damage when using a contact move against a target protected by Gale Shield.
