A very appealing move, but after using this move, the user is more easily startled.

Superpower (Japanese: ばかぢから Brute Force) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type move introduced in Generation III. It was TM49 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, and it was TR39 in Generation VIII.

Trivia

  • Superpower's German name is the same as the name for the Ability Huge Power in German.
  • Though it translates to Great Power, the Japanese name of the move can also mean Animal Power, which may explain why it can be learned by several beast-like Pokémon, such as Luxray.
