Ground Gem

When held, the Ground Gem increases the power of a damaging Ground-type move by 30%. It is consumed after first use, but is not used if the attack misses. Only the final type of a move is considered, so moves that vary type (e.g. Nature Power) or moves changed by abilities (e.g. Pixilate) are boosted by the type of Gem the move turns into.
