Hidden Power Calculator: Ultimate Pokémon Battle Tool

What Is This?

A web tool that determines your Pokémon’s Hidden Power move type (Fire, Water, etc.) and power (30-70) based on its Individual Values (IVs). Essential for competitive trainers!

How to Use

1. Enter IVs (0-31) for HP/Attack/Defense/Sp.Atk/Sp.Def/Speed
2. See instant results:
   • Type (e.g., “Electric”)
   • Power (e.g., “70”)
   • Visual chart showing strength
3. Use buttons:
   • Randomize: Test random IVs
   • Reset: Default perfect IVs (31)

Key Formulas

Type Calculation

(HP%2 + 2×Atk%2 + 4×Def%2 + 8×Speed%2 + 16×Sp.Atk%2 + 32×Sp.Def%2) × 15 ÷ 63
→ Rounded down to get type ID (0-15 = Fighting-Dark).

Power Calculation

(HP[bit1] + Atk[bit1] + Def[bit1] + Speed[bit1] + Sp.Atk[bit1] + Sp.Def[bit1]) × 40 ÷ 63 + 30
→ Power ranges 30-70.

(Note: %2 = check if IV is odd, [bit1] = check if IV’s 2nd bit is set)

FAQs

Q: Why does my Pokémon have weak Hidden Power?

A: Low IVs (especially even numbers) reduce power. Max power (70) requires specific IV combinations.

Q: Can I change Hidden Power?

A: No—it’s locked to your Pokémon’s IVs. Breed/Catch new Pokémon for different types.

Q: Which type is best?

A: Depends on your team! Electric/Ice/Ground are popular for coverage.

Terminology

• IVs (Individual Values): Hidden stats (0-31) that affect Pokémon strength.
• LSB (Least Significant Bit): Determines if a number is odd (1) or even (0).
• Hidden Power: A move that changes type/power based on IVs.

Formula Source

Based on Generation 3-6 mechanics (most common competitive formats). Matches official games like Pokémon Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet.

Notes

• ✅ Accurate for modern games (including Terastallization).
• ⚠️ Doesn’t apply to Gen 2 (different formula) or Gen 7+ Pokémon with Hidden Power removed.
• 🔍 For perfect IVs (all 31), Hidden Power is always Dark-type with 70 power.
