How is Hidden Power's type determined? I've always tried to guess but its probably wrong...

I think this is the wrong area buddy but ANYWAY..

It's decided by the IV's of your pokemon, which you have no influence on unless breeding, in which 3 IV Stats are transferred onto the baby pokemon.

You really have no way of getting the Hidden Power you want, as it's based off IV's, which are entirely random from wild pokemon, and 3 of them are random on bred pokemon.

Ask more at the breeding area - If there is one on the site, I'm not sure.

I've always wanted to know Hidden Power's Element as well. I always guessed it was Psychic or Ghost, but it just doesn't seem like a Psychic or Ghost attack, so I call it a mystical technique.

Power



The formula is:

( ( ( n * 40 ) / 63 ) + 30 ) = p

Where p = Hidden Power, Power and n = a number (we will talk about that later)

Given:

63>n>0
70>P>30


Now, the stat equals 1 if the IV number is any of the following numbers:

2,3,6,7,10,11,14,15,18,19,22,23,26,27,30,31

Other wise it equals 0.

Therefore, if my pokemon has the following IVs....

Sp.Def/Sp.Att/Spd/Def/Att/HP <-- Notice it is backwards

30/16/19/4/1/7

then the binary is....

101001

Now I opened my handy calculator on my computer and then went to view>>scientific.
then go view>>binary.
type in 101001 and then go view>>decimal.


This will give you 41

Lets use the formula now...

( ( 41 * 40 ) / 63 ) + 30 = 56.03

Which is rounded down to 56

If you want a 70 base power then you need all of your IVs to be in the groupd of Blue numbers above.

Type

Type is different. If the IV is even it is 0, if the IV is odd it is 1.

Repeat the text in green above.

and type it in to this formula

( ( n * 15 ) / 63 ) = t


Where t is the number we will use to find the type.

The types go to these numbers...

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

So for our original stats (in red)
n=001011
converted to decimal it is: 11

then 11 plugged into that formula is:

((11*15)/63)= 2.62 (rounded)

whice is then rounded down to 2 which is Poison

So stats of 30/16/19/4/1/7

Will give you a Hidden Power

Type: Poison

Power: 56
