Hidden Power is a variable-type move introduced in Generation II that deals a varying amount of damage. For calculation on Hidden Power, see Hidden Power calculation.
Effect
Hidden Power can receive same-type attack bonus. A Template:Type2 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.
In Mystery Dungeon, the type and base power of Hidden Power is randomly calculated whenever a Pokémon enters the dungeon. It does not change between floors.

"Testing" Hidden Power
Players are able to test what the type of their Hidden Power is, most often by utilizing a Kecleon. It does not have to be their own, though this makes it more convenient. Entering any double battle with the Pokémon with Hidden Power and Kecleon at the front of the list, then using Hidden Power on the Kecleon will cause it to change types to the type that Hidden Power is, or, if the Hidden Power is a Template:Type2 move, cause nothing to happen due to Kecleon's immunity.
Trivia
- Prior to Generation IV, Hidden Power was the only move which could be either Physical or Special.
- Hidden power is Unown's only move.
