'''Hidden Power''' (Japanese: '''めざめるパワー''' ''Awakening Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Although it appears as a Normal-type move, Hidden Power's actual type varies. It has been [[TM10]] since Generation II.

==Trivia==

* Although Hidden Power is listed as a Normal-type move, it cannot inflict Normal-type damage.

* Prior to [[Generation IV]], Hidden Power was one of the only two moves (along with {{m|Weather Ball}}) 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 II]], [[Shiny Pokémon]] could only use a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type|Dragon}} Hidden Power due to the spread of [[individual values]] required for alternate coloration.
