Poison Gem (item)

Effects

When held, the Poison Gem increases the power of a damaging Poison-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 Poison Gem increases the power by 50%.
