Effect
Held item
In battle
In Pokémon Gold, Silver , and Crystal , it increases the power of Dragon-type moves by 10% when held due to an oversight (while the item intended to have this effect—the Dragon Fang —has no effect). This was corrected in Pokémon Stadium 2 .
From Generation III onward, it has no effect in battle.
Outside battles
Causes Seadra to evolve into Kingdra when traded while holding it. This consumes the Dragon Scale.
