* Despite the only move Unown can learn being Hidden Power—learning it at level 1—it could not learn it via [[TM]] until [[Generation VI]]. However, this makes no functional difference other than when searching by TM/HM compatibility, since Unown will always already know Hidden Power and thus be unable to learn it via TM. | * Despite the only move Unown can learn being Hidden Power—learning it at level 1—it could not learn it via [[TM]] until [[Generation VI]].

* It is impossible for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}} that are caught or obtained as a gift in [[Pokémon X and Y]] to have a {{type|Fighting}} Hidden Power. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, this is true only for {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] in the Undiscovered Egg Group. This is because these Pokémon are guaranteed to have at least three IVs of 31, whereas a Fighting-type Hidden Power requires at least four IVs that are even numbers. | * It is impossible for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}} that are caught or obtained as a gift in [[Pokémon X and Y]] to have a {{type|Fighting}} Hidden Power.
