'''Light of Ruin''' (Japanese: '''はめつのひかり''' ''Light of Ruin'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. It is the [[signature move]] of the {{DL|Pokémon X and Y beta|Eternal Flower Floette}}, which has never been released.

==Effect==
Light of Ruin inflicts damage, and the user receives [[recoil]] damage equal to ½ of the damage done to the target.

===Generation VIII onwards===
Light of Ruin cannot be selected in a battle.

==Trivia==
* In the room service minigame at [[Hotel Richissime]], there is a food style option that selects the name of a random [[move]], in which Light of Ruin can be mentioned. This is the only way for the move's name to be seen legitimately in any game.
* Light of Ruin has the highest base power of all {{type|Fairy}} moves, excluding [[Z-Move]]s and [[Max Move]]s.
** A {{m|Twinkle Tackle}} based on Light of Ruin has the highest base power of all Fairy-type moves.
* Light of Ruin is the only Fairy-type move that causes recoil damage.
