X/Y Hidden Power Guide
~X/Y Hidden Power Guide~
We've always had Hidden Power calculators such as http://www.psypokes.com/dex/hp.php to work out a particular Pokemon's Hidden Power type and power given its IVs. But what about the other way round? It's often the case that we want to find out which IVs we should breed into our Pokemon to give the type and power we want for Hidden Power. Sure, we have the table in the above link, but that table is outdated and doesn't give us the whole story. In previous generations this reverse engineering was difficult to say the least, but with the advent of X and Y the Hidden Power mechanics were made a whole lot simpler with the removal of power as a variable, instead giving it a fixed power of 60. This has made calculating the required IVs for the desired Hidden Power much more manageable. So let me deal with the mathematics of it all, and you can enjoy the results: this guide! First of all, let me give you an example of the calculations involved so that you can convince yourselves that what I'm doing is valid mathematics and not just "magic" (all calculations are based on http://www.serebii.net/games/hidden-power.shtml). Example: Spoiler:
Now, the required IVs for each type are as follows: FIGHTING Spoiler:
FLYING Spoiler:
POISON Spoiler:
GROUND Spoiler:
ROCK Spoiler:
BUG Spoiler:
GHOST Spoiler:
STEEL Spoiler:
FIRE Spoiler:
WATER Spoiler:
GRASS Spoiler:
ELECTRIC Spoiler:
PSYCHIC Spoiler:
ICE Spoiler:
DRAGON Spoiler:
DARK Spoiler:
~~~ Note: There is currently no Fairy-type Hidden Power. Note: Assuming you want the IVs in each stat to be as high as possible, just replace "odd" with "31" and "even" with "30". Comment below if you have any questions or feedback. |
