Mew is known to have the DNA of every Pokemon that has existed inside it. It can also learn just about every attack there is. In Pokemon GO, it can learn a massive 25 Charged Attacks.

Using an Elite Charged TM will open up a shopping spree for any of those 25. Flame Charge, Wild Charge, Surf, Psyshock, Rock Slide, and Ice Beam are some of the more powerful attacks.

Swampert is only worthwhile if it knows Hydro Cannon. This was an exclusive Community Day move learned during that time via evolution. The only way to obtain it now is with an Elite Charged TM in Pokemon GO. It is a powerful attack that charges very quickly, making Swampert a true nightmare against any trainer.

Rhyperior

Rock Wrecker is another Community Day exclusive move. It can be taught to Rhyperior with an Elite Charged TM. The move is absolutely devastating and is surprisingly energy efficient.

Rhyperior is already a tough Rock-type, and with this attack, it will be nearly unstoppable whether against Raid Pokemon, Gym Battles, or in the GO Battle League.
