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.
