From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.

Brick Break (Japanese: かわらわり Tile Break) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation III.

It is:

Effect

Generation III

Brick Break removes Light Screen and Reflect from the opponent's side of the field (even if it targets an ally), then inflicts damage. It will remove Light Screen and Reflect even if the target is immune to Brick Break (i.e. a Ghost-type Pokémon). It will not remove Light Screen or Reflect if Brick Break misses or the target is protected from Brick Break.

Brick Break can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 1 bonus appeal point if Focus Energy was used in the previous turn.

Generation IV

Brick Break now removes Light Screen and Reflect from the target's side of the field, even if the target is an ally.

Generation V onwards

Brick Break no longer removes Light Screen and Reflect if the target is immune to Brick Break.

Brick Break can also remove Aurora Veil.
