The calculated [[elemental types|type]] and [[power]] of the move {{m|Hidden Power}} is based on the IVs of the Pokémon. Hidden Power can be of any type aside from {{t|Normal}}, as well as have a power between 30 and 70.

====Unown's Letter====
{{p|Unown}}'s letter in Generation II is taken from the combination of the centre two bits of the Attack, Defense, Speed and Special IV {{wp|nibble}}s. This combination is then divided by ten, and the result is [[wp:Floor_function|rounded down (''floor[]'')]] to only include the integer part of the number. This integer will range from 0-25, corresponding to a letter in the Latin alphabet, which will be the Unown's letter (where 0=A, 1=B, 2=C, ..., 23=X, 24=Y, 25=Z, and not including '!' or '?', which were introduced in Generation III).
In Generation II, due to this method of calculating Unown's letter and the way that {{shiny}} Pokémon are determined, a shiny Unown can only exist in the shape of the letter I or V.
From Generation III onwards, Unown's letter is determined by the Pokémon's [[personality value]].
For two Unown caught in the [[Ruins of Alph]]:

===Generation III===
===Generation III===
In Generation III, the IV system was completely overhauled. Now, rather than having a range of 0-15, IVs would have a range of 0-31, with HP and Special Defense getting their own individually-determined IVs. The formula for calculation of stats by IVs was also changed, as with the IV system the [[Effort value|EV]] system was also modified, and [[Natures]], newly-introduced, now modified certain stats either by raising or lowering them by 10%. The [[personality value]] handles a Pokémon's [[gender]], [[shiny Pokémon|shiny status]], and several other aspects.

This new system is part of the reason why it is impossible to trade berween [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.
