Hidden Power is an offensive move of varying type. It is contained within TM10.

Hidden Power is a move that changes type depending on the user. Similar its type is determined by the user's IVs. However, Hidden Power cannot yield a Normal-type move.

It can be determined with the following methods:

The simplest way to calculate IVs is by matching up their IVs in the following chart. (o stands for any odd number, e stands for any even number, and x stands for any number)

IVs	Type
O/O/O/O/O/O	Fairy
X/X/O/O/O/O	Dark
X/X/O/O/E/E	Bug
X/X/E/O/O/O	Dragon
X/X/O/E/O/O	Electric
X/X/E/E/E/E	Fighting
X/X/E/E/O/E	Fire
X/X/O/E/E/E	Flying
X/X/E/O/E/O	Ghost
X/X/E/E/O/O	Grass
X/X/O/E/E/O	Ground
X/X/O/O/O/E	Ice
X/X/E/E/E/O	Poison
X/X/E/O/O/E	Psychic
X/X/E/O/E/E	Rock
X/X/O/O/E/O	Steel
X/X/O/E/O/E	Water

The raw formula for determining a Hidden Power works as follows:

HP type = (HP + 2 x Atk + 4 x Def + 8 x Sp Atk + 16 x Sp Def + 32 x Speed) x 16 / 63

Rather than inputting the IV value directly, the variable inserted is 1 if the IV of the stat is odd, and 0 if it is even. The outcome is rounded down to the nearest whole number and matched with the following list:

Number	Type
0	Fighting
1	Flying
2	Rock
3	Bug
4	Fire
5	Water
6	Psychic
7	Ice
8	Poison
9	Ground
10	Ghost
11	Steel
12	Grass
13	Electric
14	Dragon
15	Dark
16	Fairy
