Competitive Analysis

Ancient Power may not deal much damage unlike other Rock-type moves but it is still widely used because of its secondary effect.

Using Ancient Power has a 10% chance of raising all of the user's stats. This move can make the user stronger, more durable, and faster!

Do note however that letting Rock-type attackers rely in Ancient Power is not recommended as there are better, more powerful moves that outweigh the small chance of Ancient Power boosting every stat.

Ancient Power Locations

Ancient Power is only available by Default, Level Up, and via Egg Moves.
