In the Pokémon games, {{m|Hidden Power}} is a {{type|Normal}} move when the type is displayed, such as in battle and on status screens. However, the actual type of Hidden Power is determined by the Pokémon's [[individual values]], and through calculation, can be set as one of the sixteen other natural types and with a power between 30 and 70. | In the Pokémon games, {{m|Hidden Power}} is a {{type|Normal}} move when the type is displayed, such as in battle and on status screens.

==Generation II== | |||
===Type=== | |||
Consider an example Pokémon, like Pikachu with this set of IVs: | |||
{{Hidden Power calculation/II|14|15|15|15|14}} | |||
The type is determined by taking the two {{wp|least significant bit}}s of the Attack and Defense IVs, then {{wp|Concatenation|concatenating}} these two values in that order. | |||
Mathematically, this is the equivalent of: | |||
:[[File:HPtypeII.png]] | |||
Where a represents the Attack IV and b represents the Defense IV. | |||
The resulting number will correspond to a type as marked below. | |||

| {{typecolor|Dark}} | |||
|} | |||
In our example, we get: | |||
HPtype=4*('''15 mod 4''')+('''15 mod 4''')='''4*3'''+3='''12+3'''='''15''', which means that our Pikachu has a {{type|Dark}} {{m|Hidden Power}}. | |||
===Damage=== | |||
The damage of the Hidden Power is calculated using the following formula: | |||
:[[File:HPPowerII.png]] | |||
* The variables v through y (the "damage bits") represent the {{wp|most significant bit}} of each IV. If a variable is less than eight, this bit is 0; otherwise, it is 1. | |||
:* v and w depend on the Attack and Defense stats respectively. | |||
:* x depends on the Speed stat. | |||
:* y depends on the Special stat. | |||
* Z is equal to the Special stat when the Special stat is less than or equal to 3; when the Special stat is greater than 3, Z is equal to 3. | |||
Hidden Power's power is therefore a number ranging from 31 to 70, inclusively. | |||
In our example, we get: | |||
{{Hidden Power calculation/II|14<br>''N/A''|15<br>''1''|15<br>''1''|15<br>''1''|14<br>''1''}} | |||
HP Power = Floor[(5*(1 + '''2*1''' + '''4*1''' + '''8*1''') + 3)/2+31] = Floor[(5*('''1 + 2 + 4 + 8''') + 3)/2+31] = Floor[('''5*15''' + 3)/2+31] = Floor[('''75 + 3''')/2+31] = Floor['''78/2'''+31] = Floor['''39+31'''] = '''Floor[70]''' = '''70''', which means that our Pikachu's Hidden Power's power is '''70''' | |||
