How to Use Normal Gem

Normal Gem boosts a Normal-type attack's power by 30%, and is consumed after use. This item can be useful if you are planning to use a powerful Normal-type attack and deal as much damage as possible for one turn.

The main downside for this item is that you can only have a powered-up Normal attack for a single turn. If you want a consistent boost in damage, consider using Silk Scarf or either Choice Band or Choice Scarf
