Hidden Power (Japanese: めざめるパワー Awakening Power) is a damage-dealing Normal-type 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.

Effect

Main article: Hidden Power (move)/Calculation

Generations II to IV

Hidden Power inflicts damage using a type and power determined by the user's IVs. The power varies between 31 and 70 in Generation II, and varies between 30 and 70 in Generations III to V.

Hidden Power can receive same-type attack bonus. For instance, a Bug-type Pokémon will receive same-type attack bonus when using a Bug-type Hidden Power. Although Hidden Power is Normal-type in the game's data, a Normal-type Hidden Power is not obtainable, except with Normalize.

Hidden Power is affected by Normalize.

Generation V

Hidden Power is no longer affected by Normalize.

Generation VI onwards

Hidden Power's base power is now always 60. The method for determining the type of Hidden Power is the same as Generation III to V, so a Fairy-type Hidden Power is not possible.

Due to never being a Normal-type move, Hidden Power is unaffected by Pixilate, Refrigerate, Aerilate, and Ion Deluge. If the user is under the effect of Electrify, Hidden Power's type will become Electric, regardless of its actual type.

Hidden Power will always be treated as a Normal-type move for Z-Moves.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

The type and base power of Hidden Power is randomly calculated whenever a Pokémon enters a dungeon, and does not change between floors. The type is selected among each of the 17 types with roughly equal probability (the game chooses from the 18 types, including the ???-type, choosing again if the ???-type is chosen; if this is done 100 times consecutively, Hidden Power will be of the Fire-type). The base power of the move is chosen among the following values with equal probability: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, Hidden Power's type is listed as "None".

Pokémon Rumble series

Hidden Power is randomly assigned any of the 17 types whenever a Toy Pokémon has it as one of its moves. The type does not change for as long as the Pokémon keeps the move.

Pokémon GO

While Hidden Power is a Normal-type move in the game data, its actual type varies between individual Pokémon. Its actual type is visible on the status screen of that Pokémon.
