It's an attack. You use it by selecting it as the move you want your Pkmn to use.

hidden power is a tm that can be any type ( fire, water etc). it is chosen it when u hatch and/or catch. for example i hav a rampardoes with hidden power is flying so it would be good against fighting while a jolteon's hidden move is rock would be weak against. each pokemon has a different type of hidden power. hope u understand :)

There's only one type Hidden Power can NEVER become; The one the Game claims it is: Normal.
And there was a Hidden Power thread that was moved to the Sticky. But it seems everyone else ignores it...

The only Move ever to be ??? is Curse, and the Only Pokémon ever to be ???-typed is Arceus.

^ but there is no ??? plate in the coding.
anyways
hidden power is a move that changes its type according the the IV's of the pokemon, its maximum power is 70 i believe, it can be any type excluding ??? and normal.
its only really helpful if you want to add type coverage, but the pokemon you are teaching doesnt have a good move in that type, but can achieve a high power HP in that type.
i hope this helps.
oh also, you can test out what your HP is, just use it on a pokemon, see what its effectiveness is, and go try it on a differant type of pokemon, your HP type and power will stay the same for that pokemon no matter what

or that lol.... but if you didnt know what a hidden power (or rather how it was calculated) i doubt you would know what ev's you have given your pokemon, so you could get the wrong HP type

you cant change the HP of a pokemon.
the IV's of a pokemon are locked, the only way to change the HP to breed a new pokemon with the right IV's for that HP

Like I said, getting an exact HP is explained in excruciating detail above.
