Trivia

• Power Gem is notable for being exclusive to Pokémon with designs that incorporate gemlike features, thus being distributed among Pokémon independent of type.
• Despite possessing jeweled features, Golduck, Tentacool, Tentacruel, Cloyster, Dragonair, Espeon, Clamperl, Deoxys, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Manaphy, Phione, Arceus, Amaura, Aurorus, and Diancie can not learn Power Gem.
• Power Gem is the only Rock-type Beauty move.
• Despite not being able to learn it, Diancie is seen using Power Gem on X and Y's official website. However, since the battle takes place in a cave, it is possible the move Diancie used was actually Nature Power.
