Trivia

  • AncientPower is learned by every fossil Pokémon and a large number of legendary Pokémon.
  • Several Pokémon evolve when they know AncientPower (namely, Tangela into Tangrowth, Piloswine into Mamoswine, and Yanma into Yanmega). Incidentally, Tangrowth resembles a shaggy caveman, Mamoswine is based off a wooly mammoth, and Yanmega is based off the Meganeura, a large prehistoric insect. This signifies each one's "ancient" nature.
  • Piloswine, which evolves into Mamoswine when leveled up knowing this move, has been able to learn it by breeding since the move's introduction. This trait is shared with Rollout, which has had a similar history with Lickitung.
