Dark Gem (item)
Effects
When held, the Dark Gem increases the power of a damaging Dark-type move by 30%. It is consumed after first use, but is not used if the attack misses.
Only the final type
of a move is considered, so moves that vary type (e.g. Nature Power) or moves changed by abilities (e.g. Pixilate) are boosted by the type of Gem the move turns into.
Changes
In Generation 5 Dark Gem increases the power by 50%.
