Earthquake

Ground

Summary

Earthquake is a Ground-type move with 100 power and 100% accuracy. It targets all adjacent Pokémon, making it especially useful in double battles. Earthquake is one of the most powerful and reliable Ground-type moves, frequently used in both casual and competitive play due to its high base power and perfect accuracy. This move does not affect Flying-type Pokémon or those with the Levitate ability unless the opponent is grounded by a move or ability like Gravity or Smack Down. One interesting fact is that Earthquake is a staple in the movesets of many physical attackers because it covers a wide range of types effectively, including Electric, Fire, Poison, Rock, and Steel Pokémon.
