The Chinese newsletter had already announced it: Mamutel will learn the move Ancient Power during the Community Day in Pokémon GO.
A few days ago, we already reported on this, and now it is official, that Mamutel can learn Ancient Power on Community Day. The move was already announced in the Chinese newsletter. Many players were unsure if this was official. Now we have confirmation.
Many players reacted disappointed to the move because Ancient Power does not strengthen Mamutel. It will therefore not be absolutely necessary to develop a Mamutel with the special move.
What we know about the move Ancient Power
What does Ancient Power do? The move Ancient Power of Rock type does not strengthen Mamutel. The Pokémon is more of a attacker of Ground and Ice types, and a Rock move is less suitable.
Therefore, it hardly pays off to develop Mamutel with Ancient Power. However, for collectors among you, a Mamutel with the special move should not be missing. It is comparable to Dragonite and the move Draco Meteor.
How do I get the move? If you still want a Mamutel with Ancient Power, you should develop the Pokémon on Saturday, February 16, between 11 AM and 3 PM. During this time window, it can learn the special move.
How players react to the new move
How disappointed are the players: On Reddit, there are hardly any positive words about the special move. Many players had still hoped, after the announcement from China, that Niantic would change the move at the last moment. This was not the case.
Many players take it humorously: “This is great! That way, we have no stress with developing during Community Day,” writes the user “Gatsiedary”.
The player “Aradanftw” wants to save TMs and asks: “So is it best if I evolve Mamutel only after Community Day? This way I save TMs.” This is indeed the best method, as it saves you the technical machines and you get the best moves with Avalanche or Earthquake directly.
Until the beginning of March, you still have the chance to get Shiny Meltan:
