Trivia

  • AncientPower is learned by every fossil Pokémon and a large number of legendary Pokémon.
  • 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.
