Flying Gem is a consumable held item introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon series. The primary function of the Flying Gem is to boost the power of a single Flying-type move used by the holder. When the holder uses a Flying-type move, the Flying Gem is consumed, and the move's power is increased by 50%. This makes the Flying Gem a strategic item for players looking to maximize the impact of a pivotal Flying-type attack in battle.
Upon consumption, the Flying Gem is used up and will not provide any further benefits for the remainder of the battle. This consumable nature requires careful planning and timing to make the most out of its effect during competitive play. The item is often used to give a significant power boost to moves like Acrobatics, Aerial Ace, or Brave Bird, potentially turning the tide of battle with a single, powerful strike.
Interestingly, when paired with the move Acrobatics, which doubles in power if the user is not holding an item, the Flying Gem
Held : When the holder uses a damaging flying-type move, the move has 1.5× power and this item is consumed.
Short Effect: Held: When the holder uses a damaging flying-type move, the move has 1.5× power and this item is consumed.
Held : When the holder uses a damaging flying-type move, the move has 1.5× power and this item is consumed.
