Guides Hidden Power

Previously a mysterious power unique to the Unown,
Hidden Power now is a widely available move that many Pokémon can
learn. However, it is a strange move because both its strength and
type vary,
depending on conditions determined
by a Pokémon's stats.
Find out what type and power your Pokémon's Hidden Power is by
reading this guide! Hopefully you will understand the mystery behind
this move.

If you ever used the move Hidden Power in battle, you
may have realized that although it is a Normal-type move, sometimes it is
super-effective on say, Water-type Pokémon. How is this so? Well, Hidden
Power can be of many types, and its power can vary too.

What a Pokémon's Hidden Power really depend on are its
Individual Values (IVs). To learn more about IVs, please click here
for a guide.
So since IVs are important in determining Hidden Power, you may want to check
your Pokémon's IVs before you find out its Hidden Power. Then, you can use Legendary
Pokémon, Metalkid,
or Psypokes's
calculator to find out the strength and type of your Pokémon's Hidden Power.

Depending on your Pokémon's IVs, which are set once the Pokémon is
born,
Hidden Power can be of all types with a power ranging from 30 to 70. With
power-boosting items, this may be higher.

|
You may be thinking, a max power of 70? That may seem on the lower side,
so what's the use of Hidden Power? Well, with an accuracy of 100, it
actually is quite appealing. Also, Hidden Power allows Pokémon to attack
with types they usually can't attack with. For example, a Gyarados might
have a Psychic Hidden Power, which is pretty cool considering Gyarados is
a Water and Flying type Pokémon, not Psychic at all!

Plus, Hidden Power is found as TM 10, so you can teach it to any Pokémon
that can learn TMs. Though it has its disadvantages, Hidden
Power still is a useful move.
