Gem Crunch (move)

Gem Crunch (Japanese: ジュエルバイト Jewel Bite) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move created by Taylor Gorrell for Generation VII. It is the signature move of Sableye and Sabludiam.

Effect
Gem Crunch inflicts damage. If the target is holding a Gem, the user will eat the Berry and gain its effect. Gem Crunch will also gain + priority if the target is holding a Gem. Gem Crunch will not eat the Gem of a target that is behind a substitute. If a Gem is eaten by the user, a message will appear on-screen stating that "the user was filled with a *insert word* essence". If the user uses a move of the same Type as the eaten Gem, a message will appear stating that "the *insert word* essence strengthened *move name*", and the move in question will have its power boosted by 50%.
