Normal Gem is a consumable held item in the Pokémon series that amplifies the power of the holder's first Normal-type move by 1.3 times. After the move is used, the gem is consumed, and it cannot be reused unless replenished by another means, such as through abilities or moves that recycle held items.
Normal Gems have niche applications in competitive play. They are particularly useful for Pokémon that rely on a powerful Normal-type attack as part of their strategy. For example, using a Normal Gem in combination with a move like Explosion can maximize the damage output, potentially taking down an opponent's Pokémon in one hit. They are also effective when used with a Pokémon's signature Normal-type moves, boosting both the element of surprise and offensive capability.
Introduced in Generation V, Normal Gems add strategic depth by offering a one-time power spike. This makes them useful for hyper-offensive teams looking to gain momentum or for setting up situations where breaking through a wall is crucial. In Double
