Effects

Brick Break deals damage, but removes the effects of Reflect and Light Screen before attacking.

Changes

  • In Generations 3-4, Brick Break removes the Reflect and Light Screen barriers even if the attack itself does not affect the opponent (being a Ghost-type for example).

Z-Move effects

When a Pokémon is holding Fightinium Z and uses its Z-Power, Brick Break turns into All-Out Pummeling and has base power 140.
