Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Bug and Errors _ Can't equip Gem to Porygon-Z

Posted by: Chaft Oct 6 2011, 11:47 PM

I am trying to equip a Fighting Gem to my Lv. 1 Porygon-Z, whom I recently evolved twice (Eviolite included). I can equip it with any other items, but not a Fighting Gem. Is this a glitch, or was is supposed to be like that?

http://gpxpl.us/YFBSd - Why can't I hold one?

I understand now. Now, if only I can find another gem Porygon-Z can hold...

You can't equip gems that do super effective damage against that pokemon.

I see, drats, there goes one of my strategies...

Gems can't be equipped onto certain pokémon with a weakness to the type that corresponds with the gem you're trying to equip.

For example: Typhlosion can't hold a Water Gem; Milotic can't hold an Electric Gem, ETC.

Dual type pokémon with a typing that is weak to the type of a gem, with the secondary typing being resistant to the gem type, can hold the gem in question.

For example: Dialga can hold an Ice Gem.

If you need further elaboration, just say so.
