Did you not just read the article above? Did you not watch all of ATLA? Energybending is NOT only able to be learned by the Avatar; it can be learned by anyone, but it is a lost, ancient form of bending that was around before the Avatar came into existence. But, once people started to learn how to bend the elements, they gave up on energybending because it wasn't as useful for day-to-day life, and it was also very dangerous to use because of the harm it could bring to the people using it. The only reason that Aang knew how to energybend was because the lion-turtle, who was around BEFORE the time of the Avatar, taught him how to. The lion-turtle could have taught anybody how to energybend, but he taught Aang. So, it is definitely possible that Amon learned how to energybend.
