In Pokémon GO there is now the move Earth Power. This attack is quite powerful, but currently only the wrong Pokémon are learning it.
This is Earth Power: This move arrived in the game along with the new wave of Pokémon. It is a Charged Move and of Ground type.
So far, only a few Pokémon can learn the move. These are mainly Pokémon that are not particularly strong. This is frustrating, as Earth Power is a really strong move.
Earth Power in Pokémon GO – How good is the move
Which Pokémon can learn Earth Power? Niantic released a list of Pokémon that can now learn Earth Power through evolution or TM. Additionally, there are some Pokémon from the new wave:
- Nidoking
- Nidoqueen
- Aerodactyl
- Camerupt
- Lepumentas
- Gastrodon
- Hippoterus
Does Earth Power strengthen these Pokémon? Yes, the new move will make all Pokémon better Ground attackers. Ultimately, the move is very strong.
This is the problem: While Earth Power makes the Pokémon better, there is a problem: Each of these Pokémon is actually a total weak Ground attacker.
The top Ground attackers remain the best of their kind. Unfortunately, they cannot learn this strong attack.
How Earth Power could strengthen Pokémon: If the top attackers ever manage to learn Earth Power, they would become significantly stronger.
Even a Libelldra would become one of the best attackers with Earth Power. If Knakrack could also learn the move, it would be the best Ground attacker in the game.
Could even more Pokémon learn the move soon? Many players hope for this. It is quite possible that Knacklion and Kaumalat will get a special Community Day.
There, their evolutions Libelldra and Knakrack could learn the powerful Ground move.
It remains to be seen whether more Pokémon can learn this strong attack. Earth Power would become useful because so far the move doesn’t really do much. The Pokémon that can master Earth Power are simply too weak.
With Gastrodon, a regional Pokémon can also learn the new move:
