How to Get the Move Ancient Power in 'Pearl'

The special attack Ancient Power is a Rock-type attack found in "Pokemon Pearl" and other games in the "Pokemon" series. Ancient Power not only deals a high amount of damage against your foe, it has a 10 percent chance of temporarily raising all of the stats of the Pokemon that used it by one level. This special move cannot be taught, it can only be learned naturally by some Pokemon by leveling. However, if you want a Pokemon that does not normally learn Ancient Power to learn the move, you can do so through Pokemon breeding.

Instructions

- 1
  Catch a Pokemon that can learn Ancient Power, such as Omanyte or Yanma. For the purposes of breeding, you want to catch a male Pokemon that knows Ancient Power. To determine the gender of the Pokemon, look for the male insignia next to the Pokemon's name. If it is a male, capture it; if not, let it go.
- 2
  Train the Pokemon until it reaches the level where it can learn Ancient Power. For example, Omanyte learns the move at level 37, while Yanma learns the move at level 33. To train a Pokemon, use it in Pokemon battles to obtain experience points.
- 3
  Catch a female Pokemon that is compatible with the male Pokemon. Mating compatibility is based on egg type. For example, Omanyte is a Water Egg type, so it can mate with other Water Egg types, such as Krabby or Wooper.
- 4
  Fly to Solaceon Town and visit the Pokemon Daycare. Leave the two Pokemon that you want to mate with the caretaker and leave. After walking around a certain number of steps, your Pokemon will produce an egg, and after more steps, the egg will hatch.
- 5
  Return to the Daycare Center after the egg has hatched. If the mating was successful, you will have a baby Pokemon that knows Ancient Power from birth.
