Hidden Power

[Powarun]

Can anyone explain how Hidden power works? Thanks in advance, I just don't get how every thing is calculated.

well, prepare for a long scientific explaination.

Step 1: Hidden Power's Base Power

Divide each of the DVs by 4. Start off with value X as being equal to 0.

If Hit Point's DV divided by 4 has the remainder of 2 or 3, then add 1 to value X

If Attack's DV divided by 4 has the remainder of 2 or 3, then add 2 to value X

If Defense's DV divided by 4 has the remainder of 2 or 3, then add 4 to value X

If Speed's DV divided by 4 has the remainder of 2 or 3, then add 8 to value X

If Spcl Atk's DV divided by 4 has the remainder of 2 or 3, then add 16 to value X

If Spcl Def's DV divided by 4 has the remainder of 2 or 3, then add 32 to value X

The Base power of Hidden power is as follows:

(X*40/63)+30

in other word, Hidden Power will range somewhere between base of 30 and base of 70.

Step 2: Hidden Power's Type

This part is simple. Start off with value X being equal to 0.

If Hit Points DV is odd, add 1 to value X
If Attack DV is odd, add 2 to value X
If Defense DV is odd, add 4 to value X
If Speed DV is odd, add 8 to value X
If Spcl Atk DV is odd, add 16 to value X
If Spcl Def DV is odd, add 32 to value X

next, determine your type code:

X*15/63 (also, ignore any decimal part)

now compare this number to the chart below to find out your Hidden Power Type:

0 = Fighting
1 = Flying
2 = Poison
3 = Ground
4 = Rock
5 = Bug
6 = Ghost
7 = Steel
8 = Fire
9 = Water
10 = Grass
11 = Electric
12 = Psychic
13 = Ice
14 = Dragon
15 = Dark

thanks, it is just what I wanted to know. Kari & Mewtwo.
