The GMC-500+ is a device that measures and detects radiation. It is specifically designed for beta, gamma, and x-ray radiation. The device possesses two different Geiger‑Müller tubes for detecting different radiation levels, allowing it to detect up to ten times what the GMC-500 can. It also provides both visual signals, such as the counts on the screen, and audio signals, ticking with an increased frequency to alert users to the presence of radiation. It is one of the only handheld Geiger counters available for the public and is proven to be accurate and helpful in emergencies and everyday life.

ID: A handheld device that is roughly four inches by three inches, and about a half inch thick. It is gray in color with a blue screen, that can display the reading on the amount of radiation detected in a space or object. There are four circular buttons under the screen, and a wrist strap attached to the upper corner of the device. On the back side of the device, there is a sticker of the Pokémon, Hoppip, who is a pink, circular creature with catlike ears and tail, four paws, and two leaves on its head, giving it a similar appearance to a berry.
