How to Use Power Herb

Geomancy Xerneas

Power Herb lets the holder immediately use moves that would otherwise need charging. This item sees use from Pokemon that would not seem as a viable attacker at glance.

A perfect example for this is Xerneas and Geomancy. This move raises Xerneas' Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed on the next turn after it is used. With Power Herb, Xerneas can immediately raise its stats on the same turn the move is used, allowing it to play its roles earlier than it should.

Skull Bash and Meteor Beam are common examples of moves used with Power Herb. It can also be used alongside Solar Beam and Solar Blade if sunlight is not in play.
