Hidden Power is a variable-type move introduced in Generation II that deals a varying amount of damage.

Mechanics

Hidden Power can receive same-type attack bonus. 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. Because of this, a Normal-type Pokémon will never receive same-type attack bonus when using Hidden Power.

Due to the game treating Hidden Power like a Normal-type attack, Mirror Coat will not work against any Hidden Power, but Counter always will, unless the attack fails for some other reason (such as immunity). However, in Generation IV, this is reversed, as Hidden Power is a move that bases its power on the user's Special Attack stat.
