'''Hidden Power''' (Japanese: '''めざめるパワー''' ''Awakening Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Although it appears as a Normal-type move, Hidden Power's actual type and base power vary. For calculation on Hidden Power, see [[Hidden Power calculation]].

Hidden Power inflicts damage using a type and base power [[Hidden Power calculation|determined by the user's IVs]].

Hidden Power can receive [[same-type attack bonus]]. For instance, a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon will receive same-type attack bonus when using a Bug-type Hidden Power. Although Hidden Power is Normal-type in the game's data, a Normal-type Hidden Power is not obtainable. Because of this, a pure Normal-type Pokémon will never receive same-type attack bonus when using Hidden Power unless it also has {{a|Normalize}} as its ability.

===Mystery Dungeon===

The type and base power of Hidden Power is randomly calculated whenever a Pokémon enters a dungeon, and does not change between floors. The type is selected among each of the 17 types with roughly equal probability (the game chooses from the 18 types, including the {{t|???}}-type, choosing again if the ???-type is chosen; if this is done 100 times consecutively, Hidden Power will be of the {{t|Fire}}-type. The base power of the move is chosen among the following values with equal probability: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17.

=="Testing" Hidden Power==

Players are able to test what the type of their Hidden Power is most often by utilizing a {{p|Kecleon}}. It does not have to be their own, though this makes it more convenient. Entering any double battle with the Pokémon with Hidden Power and Kecleon at the front of the list, then using Hidden Power on the Kecleon will cause it to change types to the type that Hidden Power is, or, if the Hidden Power is a {{type2|Ghost}} move, cause nothing to happen due to Kecleon's immunity.

However, in {{v2|Platinum}}, there is a man in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] Prize Exchange house that will tell the player the type of their Pokémon's Hidden Power. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, he is present in the [[Celadon Game Corner]] Prize Exchange house. In {{2v2|Black|White}}, he is present in the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Mistralton City]].

* In [[Generation II]], [[Shiny Pokémon]] could only use a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type2|Dragon}} Hidden Power due to the spread of [[individual values]] required for alternate coloration.

* Prior to [[Generation IV]], Hidden Power was the only move which could, depending on the Pokémon, be either [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]], due to the damage category being determined by the type.

* In Generation IV, almost all Pokémon with permanent [[form differences]] can learn this move through leveling up. The only Pokémon with permanent form differences that do not learn Hidden Power by [[level]] up are {{p|Spinda}} and [[Spiky-eared Pichu]].

* More Pokémon can learn Hidden Power than any other move.
