Hidden Power

The move Hidden Power is a very tricky move to make it work right. Hidden Power is a move whose type varies depending on stats of the Pokemon. To get the Hidden Power (or HP, not to be confused with Hit Points however.) just right usually takes awhile for inexperienced trainers.

Well lets begin at the basics. What exactly IS Hidden Power? Hidden Power, as said before is a move that varies upon the stats of the Pokemon. Although in battle the move looks the same, they are entirely different types. In the in game description, Hidden Power is marked as a normal move, has no definite power, and its description is, "The attack power varies among the Pokemon." Do not let the given type fool you, unless you train the Pokemon to have HP Normal, it is NOT a Normal type move.

IVs and Hidden Power

Now then, Hidden Powers vary among the stats, what stats? The IVs, (for more information of IVs please go here), can make a Fire type Pokemon have a Water type HP. Here is a chart from Serebii. All of the chart I give 100% credit to Serebii/Dragonair, and thank you for making this (even if I did reword it a little). It’s moreover written as an equation, and I hope you know the IVs of your Pokemon, or else this won’t make any sense.

HP (Hidden Power) Type= (T1+T2+T+T4+T5+T6) * 15/63. The Ts are variables.

If IV of Hit Points is odd then T1=1

If IV of Attack is odd then T2=2

If IV of Defense is odd then T3=4

If IV of Speed is odd then T4=8

If IV of Special Attack is odd then T5=16

If IV of Special Defense is odd then T6=32

Oh and if you get an even number as one of the IVs, then the variable for that IV is 0.

Now lets say a Pokemon had these specific IVs:
HP=31
Attack=31
Defense=30
Speed=31
Special Attack=30
Special Defense=31

They are high numbers, but work with me here, so now lets use the order of operations to figure this thing out. (Remember kids, Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally.)

HP Type=(1+2+0+8+0+32) *15/63
HP Type=(43) *15/63
HP Type=645/63
HP Type=(approx.) 10

Hidden Power Types

Now that you found the number, here’s the chart to go with it:

If HP = 0, then the HP is Fighting.

If HP = 1, then the HP is Flying.

If HP = 2, then the HP is Poison

If HP = 3, then the HP is Ground

If HP = 4, then the HP is Rock

If HP = 5, then the HP is Bug

If HP = 6, then the HP is Ghost

If HP = 7, then the HP is Steel

If HP = 8, then the HP is Fire

If HP = 9, then the HP is Water

If HP = 10, then the HP is Grass

If HP = 11, then the HP is Electric

If HP = 12, then the HP is Psychic

If HP = 13, then the HP is Ice

If HP = 14, then the HP is Dragon

If HP = 15, then the HP is Dark

And that is how you find your Hidden Power.

The Power of Hidden Power

What was that? You thought we were done? Ha ha think again, there is still one more equation needed (also from Serebii). This time we are finding out the actually power of the move, if you are fine with just knowing your Hidden Power type then you can stop reading, for those who want to know the power of the move, continue reading.

Well here we are, with some more variables, this time they are P, which represents power I suppose…

HP Power= (P1+P2+P3+P4+P5+P6) *40/63 + 30

Now for our values:

If IV of Hit Points divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3 then P1=1

If IV of Attack divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3 then P2=2

If IV of Defense divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3 then P3=4

If IV of Speed divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3 then P4=8

If IV of Special Attack divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3 then P5=16

If IV of Special Defense divided by 4 has a remainder of 2 or 3 then P6=32

You’re probably wondering, what if it does not have a remainder of 2 or 3? I’m almost positive it means the variable is 0, but if you look at the original IVs of the Pokemon, way up at the beginning of the chart, you will see all the numbers divide to have a remainder of 3 if the IV was 31 and 2 if the IV was 30. Here is your equation:

HP Power=(1+2+4+8+16+32) *40/63 + 30
HP Power=63 * 40/63 +30
HP Power=2520/63 +30
HP Power=40+30
HP Power=70

So there. Your Hidden Power power is 70.
