Steel Gem

Steel-Gem is a consumable item introduced in Generation V of the Pokémon series. When held by a Pokémon, the Steel-Gem boosts the power of the holder's first Steel-type move by 50%, after which the gem is consumed and disappears. This item provides a one-time, significant power boost, making it a strategic choice for delivering a strong immediate attack during battles.

Starting from Generation VI, the effect of the Steel-Gem, like other type-specific gems, was reduced to a 30% power increase, aligning with the adjustments made to various mechanics within the games.

Steel-Gem is particularly effective in competitive play for Pokémon that rely on high-impact Steel-type moves to secure key KOs or break through opposing defenses. Examples of Pokémon that benefit from holding a Steel-Gem include Scizor with its Bullet Punch or Excadrill with Iron Head, leveraging the item to enhance their offensive plays.
