How Earth Power performs in Pokémon GO PvP

Charged moves cost energy to fire. Earth Power costs 55 energy and deals 90 damage, giving it a damage-per-energy of 1.64. Higher DPE = more bang per charged-move cycle, which compounds across long matches. This move also triggers a buff effect (see card on left) with a 10% activation chance.

Earth Power's DPE is mid-pack but the buff effect (see left) is the real value — best used as a bait move that opens damage windows on follow-up.
