Gem Flash (move)

Gem Flash (Japanese: ジュエルフレア Jewel Flare) is a damage-dealing Dark-type move created by Taylor Gorrell for Generation VII. It is the signature move of Carbink and Lazuncle.

Effect
Gem Flash inflicts damage and has no secondary effect. Gem Flash's Type varies depending on the Gem held by either the user or the target. Using Gem Flash consumes the Gem converted. If both the user and the target are holding a Gem, Gem Flash will use the target's Gem for the first use, then use the user's Gem for the second use. When Gem Flash is used, a message stating "*User's name* converted its/*target's name*'s *Gem Type* Gem into a/an *insert word* essence" will appear, which determines the move's Type. The move will fail if neither the user nor the target is holding a Gem, or if the holder of the Gem that would be used cannot use its held Gem (due to Klutz, Knock Off, or Embargo).
