Ampharos can learn Dragon moves in the main games (its mega evolution gains the typing as well), so I'll hazard a guess at either Dragon Pulse or Outrage.

With an Electric move, he'll probably still play second fiddle to Jolteon/Raikou/Zapdos. With Dragon moves, he'll have some level of uniqueness and may make a viable defender as a result.

Dragon Pulse... and also like Sky Attack, few pokemon have it for a boost.

Either this, a completely new move, or a move that counters Ground types... Ice Beam would be fun.

Ampharos' moves just need to be adjusted to include Thunder Shock and Discharge.

And/or a boost to Charge Beam.

Its current fast moves are not good for offense. Its current charge moves are not good for defense.

It doesn't matter because Frenzy Plant already ruined the game /s

Really though, I hope they keep using Community Day to release brand new moves so I hope he gets something better than Wild Charge

Dunno but I can get behind this:

Ampharos won't be good on offense regardless of the move, on defense he can be useful if he will have a water or grass move, preferably multibar, to hit his ground counters.

Frenzy Plant made Venusaur a competent attacker, I don't see why the same couldn't happen for Ampharos. HIs base attack is even higher than Venusaur and he already has decent bulk

Because raikou has one of the best moves in the game. Ampharos will need to learn an insanely overpowered move to surpass him.

Nobody said he needs to surpass Raikou, but I like that Niantic is willing to release new moves to make non-legendaries more viable.
If he gets the electric equivalent of Frenzy Plant, so be it.

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind having somebody other than Jolteon to use since I missed out entirely on Raikous. Definitely one of the legends I wish I could’ve gotten along with Kroger but if I can get even two or three good Ampharos with something on Par with Jolteon or better than I’d be a happy camper. Manectric is cool and I’ve considered using him but he’s completely outclassed by Jolt

Ampharos is pretty close to Jolteon attack stat-wise but also suffers from the problem of much worse fast move. Quick check on pokebattler shows that just getting Wild Charge may put it on par with Jolteon for time to win.

I feel Ampharos could have Dynamic Punch, Outrage or Magnetic Flux. Magnetic Flux sounds too dreamy, but Ampharos looks like it was made to be defensive. Because there is no new animation for Amphy on a move, maybe this could be it.
