Electric Gem is a consumable item in the Pokémon series that boosts the power of a single Electric-type move by 50% when it is held by a Pokémon and used in battle. Once the Electric Gem is used, it is consumed, and it cannot be reused unless another one is obtained.
This item was introduced in Generation V and has been a useful asset in competitive play due to its ability to provide a significant power boost to Electric-type moves. This can be particularly advantageous for Pokémon that rely on Electric-type attacks to deal heavy damage, such as Raikou, Jolteon, or Zeraora.
When an Electric-type move is boosted by the Electric Gem, the increase in power can turn the tide of battle, allowing for key knockouts or substantial damage to opposing Pokémon. This can be particularly strategic in scenarios where a player needs to ensure that an Electric-type attack secures a KO on an opponent that might otherwise survive.
