Summary

Rock Gem is a single-use held item introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon series. The item enhances the power of a Rock-type move by 1.5 times (50%) during battle. Once the gem activates, it is consumed and its effect will not be available unless another Rock Gem is equipped.

Effects and Usage: Primarily, the Rock Gem massively augments the damage inflicted by a Rock-type move. This temporary increase can be tactically employed to secure a critical knockout or inflict major damage against an opponent. Given its single-use nature, the Rock Gem is frequently utilized in situations where maximum damage is essential, such as pivotal moments in competitive battles or critical Gym battles in the main game series.
