Superpower Effect

Consumes the entire muscle gauge and has the user run in the designated direction and grab an opposing Pokemon. The user then slams the opposing Pokemon down on the ground at full strength, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect. The damage dealt by this move and the shield effect it grants increases the more muscle gauge increments are consumed.

Superpower Persists Through Unstoppable Status Effect

If you use Superpower on targets that have the Unstoppable status effect, you can still cause damage even if you can't lift them. This is because the move's animation continues even when your target has immunity, dealing damage as a result.

Given this, the move isn't entirely useless against Pokemon that can gain immunities.

Works on Boss Pokemon

Moreover, this interaction also happens against Boss Pokemon like Drednaw and Zapdos.

How to Use Superpower

Use as a Finisher

It's important to remember that Superpower is a move that consumes the Muscle Gauge. With that in mind, use it as a finisher, particularly when the Muscle Gauge is full.

Utilize the Cooldown Reset

Once upgraded, Superpower's cooldown resets whenever the Muscle Gauge fills up, allowing you to spam the move as long as you keep maxing out the Muscle Gauge. Given this, find ways to quickly fill up the Muscle Gauge each time you use Superpower to trigger the reset.

Utilize the Shield Effect

You gain a shield for a short duration each time you use Superpower. It's applied immediately once you grab a target, not once the move ends. With that, utilize Superpower's shield effect by using it at key moment, especially during teamfights.

Control Slam Location

You can control the direction where Buzzwole will slam the target by moving the directional stick or control on your device. This is useful for isolating target or removing enemies away from their goal zones.

Slam at Enemies

Since the slam deals area damage around the target, you can make the most out of Superpower by slamming the target towards nearby enemies. This also works even if your target has the Unstoppable status effect.

Target Boss Pokemon

You can still deal damage to Boss Pokemon like Drednaw and Zapdos even if they can't be lifted. With this, don't hesitate to use Superpower on them to deal damage or knock them out.
