Will the Normal Gem take effect/ be consumed on Roar and Whirlwind?

Question

I was just making a move set for one of my pokes, and I was just wondering if the Normal Gem (or any other gem) will be used on Roar or Whirlwind, or any other non-damaging moves. Thanks/

Comments

They are Status moves (not Normal-type). This means it'll even hit Ghost types. So, anyways, no the Normal Gem won't take effect.

Basically: gems only get consumed when using damage dealing moves.

Answer 1

No, Gems don't consume on status moves.
