The Synchro Ground-Pound[1][2][3] (alternatively spelled Synchro Ground Pound[4] and synchro ground pound),[5][2] also known as the Synchronized Ground Pound in American English and Synchronised Ground Pound in British English and formerly known as the Simultaneous Ground Pound,[6] is a variant of the Ground Pound that consists of multiple players performing a Ground Pound at the same time. The move is typically stronger than the normal Ground Pound and affects all enemies in a certain area, similar to a POW Block.
