The Community Day in Pokémon GO is coming soon and Niantic’s newsletter already revealed which attack Mamoswine can learn.
This was announced: In the Chinese newsletter of Pokémon GO, Niantic mentions that Mamoswine can learn the move Ancient Power if you evolve it on Community Day.
The newsletters in other languages do not mention a specific attack. The German one refers to a “special move” that Mamoswine can learn.
How strong is Mamoswine with Ancient Power
Is it certain that Mamoswine learns Ancient Power? So far, only the Chinese newsletter describes the new move of Mamoswine. However, the authors of the newsletter must have received the information directly from Niantic, as it is the official newsletter of the developers.
You cannot guarantee with complete certainty that Mamoswine can actually learn Ancient Power on Community Day, but it is also not far-fetched.
Does Ancient Power boost Mamoswine? The move Ancient Power is of Rock type and does not play to Mamoswine’s strengths. The Pokémon is of Ground and Ice type and can deal significantly more damage with moves of these types.
With a charging move of Rock type, it will be a good attacker for this type, but we still have significantly better Pokémon of this type like Tyranitar, Rampardos, and Rhyperior.
Does Mamoswine even need this move? A Mamoswine with Ancient Power is definitely a collector’s item. It probably won’t learn this move again anytime soon, making it rare. So you should evolve one to have it in your collection.
How do I get the move? The move is only available on Community Day. You need to evolve a Swinub into Mamoswine between 11 AM and 3 PM. You will also need a Sinnoh Stone. Mamoswine cannot learn the move with a TM.
When is the Community Day in February? On Saturday, February 16, the Community Day will start for three hours. Besides Shiny Swinub, you can also receive numerous other bonuses.
We have given you 5 reasons why the Community Day in February will be particularly good:
