If the Special Defense IV is odd, then F = 32. If the Special Attack IV is odd, then E = 16. Once you have your IVs, you can calculate the Hidden Power type via the following formula:

I suggest you refer back to it if you cannot remember how to calculate your IVs.

I covered Individual Value calculation earlier in the Breeding 101 series which you can find in the article, Breeding 101: Individual Values (Part I). In order to calculate your PokГ©mon's IVs, you will need to use a freshly hatched or caught PokГ©mon and a friend with a Generation IV game.

In order to calculate your Hidden Power type and power, you will need to obtain your PokГ©mon's Individual Values. The power and type are determined by your PokГ©mon's IV statistics. Hidden Power has a power within the range of 30 to 70 and it always has 15PP, is a Special category attack, and has 100% accuracy. Because of this fact, Normal-type PokГ©mon that have no secondary type cannot receive a STAB as Hidden Power will never be a Normal-type move. If a Water-type PokГ©mon ends up with a Water-type Hidden Power, the move will receive a Same-type Attack Bonus, or STAB, even though it appears on the surface to be a Normal type move. Hidden Power is a Normal-type move on the surface, but its true type can be any type other than Normal. For those who are strong of heart, venture forth. So if you want to leave our digital band of heroes, I can't say as I blame you. No matter how much influence you have over your PokГ©mon's stats in the form of Power Items, you never truly have any sort of control over it. This week's installment comes to you with a very large disclaimer: No matter what you do, Hidden Power is going to be random. But nothing can prepare you for the gelatinous hell-beast we in the breeding business like to call Hidden Power. You can speed up hatching time with some handy PokГ©mon, and you know how to figure out your PokГ©mon's strengths and weaknesses. You know how to breed for moves, Individual Values, and nature. You are already armed with everything you need to breed competitive PokГ©mon. Gather around the campfire children, today is the final installment in this wonderful series I like to call Breeding 101.
