Gem: Difference between revisions

'''Gems''' (Japanese: '''ジュエル''' ''Jewel'') are one-use [[type-enhancing item]]s introduced in [[Generation V]]. There are 18 types of Gems, corresponding to each of the 18 [[type]]s. A Gem is consumed when the Pokémon holding it uses a damaging attack that matches the Gem's type, and the attack's [[power]] is boosted by 30% (50% prior to Generation VI). The Gem will not be consumed if the attack misses or fails. {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Focus Punch}}, and damaging {{cat|moves with a charging turn}} consume the Gem immediately before dealing damage.

If the type of a move is changed with {{a|Normalize}}, {{a|Pixilate}}, {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Aerilate}}, {{m|Ion Deluge}} or {{m|Electrify}}, the Gem must match the type of the move after it has been modified. {{cat|Moves that call other moves}} will only consume a Gem if the called move is of the appropriate type for the Gem. {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Weather Ball}} can consume Gems, but only if the type of the Gem matches the type of damage that will be dealt. {{m|Judgment}} and {{m|Techno Blast}} can consume Normal Gems, but will be Normal-type for that execution even if the Pokémon is given a [[Plate]] or [[Drive]] by {{a|Symbiosis}} upon consuming the Gem. If a Pokémon consumes a Gem for an attack and is immediately given another of the same Gem by Symbiosis, that Gem will not be consumed for that attack; if a Pokémon consumes a [[Power Herb]] using a damaging move and is immediately given a Gem of the appropriate type, that Gem will be consumed for that attack. Fixed-damage moves (such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}, {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Endeavor}}) will consume Gems but will not have their damage modified. {{m|Present}} consumes a Gem even if it heals the target, but the amount healed is unaffected. {{m|Fling}} will fail if the user is holding a Gem. {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Grass Pledge}}, {{m|Water Pledge}}, and {{m|Fire Pledge}} will never consume a Gem.

In [[Generation VI]], a Fairy Gem was created to correspond with the new {{t|Fairy}} type; in spite of this, the Normal Gem is the only Gem obtainable in Generation VI and [[Generation VII]] games.
